This wine has so many layers, like a rich Swiss chocolate cake. Almost a garnet purple on the pour. Lush nose with intense aromas of black pepper, dark black fruit with a bit of cola and tobacco. On the Palate this wine is smooth and intoxicating, you almost cannot wait for a full pour, at least I could not. Flavors of licorice a hint of floral, velvety chocolate, nice grip and long wonderful spicy finish.
Carmenere is a dark-skinned red wine grape variety originally from the vineyards of Bordeaux, but which has now found a particularly happy home in Chile, where it is sometimes also known as Grand Vidure.
A late-ripening variety, Carmenere requires high levels of sunshine and a warm summer to show its true potential, but in the right environment it can produce fine, deeply-colored red wines. Carmenere is thought by some to be the 'grandfather' of Bordeaux varieties.
