Trying this again. Dark as night. Aroma of berry-cherry cola and freshly stained wood siding. Flavors are some fruit (slightly syrupy) with plenty of char and tobacco in there. Very much a Carménère flavor profile if a bit lacking in nuance or depth. It’s a bit fat and ripe. But shoot for the price at Trader Joe’s this is a wine to repeatedly buy.

Feb 2nd, 2025Cheapie at Trader Joe’s. This is a pretty well structured version on the Carménère wine Chile made famous. Plenty of tobacco leaf. Hint of black licorice. Robust dark as night red wine. Not amazingly dynamic, but gratifying stuff.
