De Martino
Estate Maipo Valley Carménère
Maipo Valley, Central Valley, Chile
This Carmenere comes from 15 year old Estate vines and made in cement & stainless tanks.
On the nose; slight pyrazine notes, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, blue fruit hues, dry stones & dark moist soils, red roses & florals.
On the palate, lean, ripe fruits; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries & blue fruit hues. Big round but gentle tannins. Gritty minerals, black cherry licorice/cola, soft leather, dry stems, slight herbaceous notes, red roses, red flowers & violets, nice acidity and a lovely, ripe, round finish.

Not one of my favorites, but has a great full fruity front. Sweet berries and peaches. Also a slight smokiness that adds. Back end has a slight bitter, metallic taste that takes a little bit away from the front end.

Kicking off my NY resolution to drink more Southern Hemisphere wines. This is textbook everything good about Chile...purity of fruit, niceness of price.

Brilliant! Liking this varietal. Balanced dry. Bright cherry, spice and vanilla. Enjoyed with a steak dinner then w/chicken parm.

Won't be revisiting. Bought the low price bottle at the restaurant and should have gone up a notch.
