Nice change of pace. Big, very slightly oaky. Not super dynamic. Would buy again. Very drinkable, likely great for winter.

🇨🇱 A Carmenere from the Maipo Valley in Chile. Full body, smooth to the palate with a sweet fruity finish of 🍒 . This is one bottle that should be enjoyed without a meal in good company with its 14% ABV. 🍷

Super peppery to start, high acidity, but really smoothed out. Mad-heavy, nicely balanced red/black fruits.

Briny, mineral nose; syrupy mouthfeel with surprisingly sweet taste yet dry finish. Full of surprises!
