Notes of leather, black pepper and green pepper that are baffled out on the palate with some dark fruit. Solid wine.

Bright ruby red in color.
Beautiful, fruity nose with cherries, cranberries, blackberries and peppercorn.
Medium to full bodied, with a nice mouth feel. Peppery on the palate with dark berries and black peppercorn.
Nice clean finish. Not too complex yet good. I really enjoyed it.
It's 14% alcohol by volume.

Aug 31st, 2015Let sit for a few minutes and the tannins were still a bit overwhelming. Allowed it to really open up for another 30 or so and it smelled and tasted like a completely different wine. Pleasant wine.

The 2013 vintage of reserve MaipoValley Carmenere lists at 13.5% alcohol and shows as a ruby red with a youthful deep coloured violet hue. This varietal typically ripens later then it's relative Cabernet Sauvignon. on the nose it shows a predominance of American oak, cool climate Andean herbaceousness, vine-ripened tomato and delicate plum tones and sour cherry on the palate as well. With medium tannins, medium bodied, medium acidity, the fruit is well supported in a wine structured for enjoying with or without food. This wine has a mouthfeel which is chewy, and tart. This wine finishes long with a persistence of sour cherry and bitter chocolate and underbrush. Recommend pairing with game, tomato-based stew or cassoulet.
