  February 24, 2013 - Let it breath... A lot! Not immediately dry and jammy. But after a good hour, a totally different taste.

  November 20, 2012 - Typical Carmenere. Light fruit, vegetal and a bit barnyard. Good value.

  February 4, 2012 - Giant Wine Sale & Tasting 2/4/2012 (Cellar on Greene, Columbia, SC): Although this one seems to avoid most of those earthy, tree root, and black tea flavors we sometimes find in Carmenere from Chile, it still rough and rustic, in a good way. You are not going to confuse this with say a California Merlot, or an Australian Shiraz. These flavors and aromas are distinct to Chile and that is all right. I get vanilla, lead pencil,red raspberry, and alcohol on the nose. The color is basically purple. This is a pretty big wine with good grip, structure, and a decent mouth feel. Not exactly layered, there are still some interesting combinations of smoky, black pepper spiced, deep dark blackberry, and plum fruit, backed up with some red cherry, red raspberry, and some nuanced non fruit flavors associated with spices and earth. This one gives us a hint of what Carmenere can be, without all the hard to describe secondary flavors. Balanced. Drinkable. Civilized tannins before some more graphite and blackberry on the finish.
