This deep ruby Chilean Carmenère has a very fragrant nose of blackberry, fresh dug earth, and notes of tar, tobacco, and kitchen spices. It is very silky, balanced, and dry on the palate, with a medium-plus body and medium acidity. Slightly concentrated and juicy. It is very approachable. I found flavors of blackberry, rhubarb, coffee, toasty oak, and black olive. It closes with fine-grained tannins and a dry long finish.

A well-balanced carmenere showing plenty of ripe fruit as well as spices and a hint of tobacco. Eclectic style. Tannins are fine-grained on the medium- to full-bodied palate with generous, flattering fruit. Marchigue and Apalta

Black fruit, herbs, chili, black olives and spices on the nose. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins. Creamy, but structured and fresh in the mouth. Layered with a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

Rich violet in the glass. The nose delivers ripe blackberry aromas with hints of white and green pepper. Indulgent in the mouth with firm tannins, an ample, extractive palate and good body. The cleansing finish is of dark fruit.
