Medium Ruby with faint aromas of blue and red fruits. On the palate of this simple wine flavors of plum and blackberry with notes of oak and toast. Medium finish, harsh grippy tannins ending spicy. Pass, Tasting Sample.

Good nose. Harsh chemical alcohol front-taste, a bit like acetone. Very dry and pleasantly filmy mouthfeel. Almost no fruit tasting notes, seems entirely woody, chocolate, and pepper. Tastes more like unkempt Cabernet Sauvignon than the delicate smoothness expected of a carménère.

Seemed a little higher in alcohol which overpowered the wine. Earthy, baking spice, radish, plum. An interesting wine

Well balanced carmenere from Chile. Dark fruit upfront with nice acidity that then turns to silky tannins. Some earthy tones but not tons. Very long finish.

Had it with a pork tenderloin. Quite tasty. Less peppery than I've had with other carmenere. Darker berries.

This is lovely! Smooth and elegant. Dark fruit, sweet but still complex if you take your time with it. Cherry cola. Anise at the end. May have found a new addition to the rotation.
