  June 12, 2023 - My first bottle. Sourced from massal selected Camenere vines planted in 1945. Not decanted. Paired this with blackened marinated pork chops on the grill. Dark purple black color. Surprisingly round with approachable tannins. Notes of stewed red fruit, ripe berries, smoke and leather. Supple finish. This was a great value at $17. 90 points.

  February 25, 2023 - If you like Loire Cab Franc, I think you'll love this. Carmenere tends to be over-oaked or over-cropped, or something worse, but this wine is pure and fresh, with copious varietal character and beautiful ripeness. The minimalist winemaking is clear and appreciated.
  
  Aromas of grilled bell peppers, tomato leaf, espresso, seedy blackberry, blackcurrant, watermelon candy, a little violet, raw steak and orange juice. Fresh and juicy, the fruit is foremost and all the leafy, vegetal and savory elements only assert strongly after the gorgeous fresh ripe fruit notes fade, there's unexpected sweetness to the fruit to keep significant Carmenere-typical vegetal notes in check. In the end, this is not especially complex and nuanced, but it is so pure and honest and I love drinking it. I would probably not push it, drink in the next few years?
