Fine example of entry level Carmenère, focusing primarily on the flexibility of the grape originating in the Gironde....

Blackcurrant and spice on the nose. It is juicy with soft tannins, but somewhat lacking in complexity.

It's only wine but I like it
It's only wine but I like it

Simple red, with dark fruit, and rather prominant notes of green peppers, spinach. To be honest, I have never been much of a carmenere fan, preferring it as a blending variety. On its own, especially in lower priced wines such as this, the vege notes just dominate too much. Thanksfully short finishing. Suffice it to say, I won;t be re-purchasing (even discounted at $10.45). Tasted April 2014.
