Nose: Dark fruit, green pepper Taste: honey, lightly toasted front finishing with a mild pepper, weak for Carmenere ad tastes of bell peppers. Somewhat skipping the mid palate, it is smooth yet seems to fade away without much spark. Worth a taste.

My first Carmenere, and I'm glad I tried it. One the nose, it reminds me of either a Malbec or sometimes even Grenache. Nice and distinctive on the palate. Good rich fruits, red and black (mostly), with white pepper, reminding me of a recent Grenache. Outstanding for the price ($13).

A very nice wine. Very versatile. Good for everyday occasions and holds up well with food. Nice fruity nose with some floral and elderberry. Sweet finish on the palate.

Had a smell of the bottom of a dirty ashtray. Taste wasn't bad, but not memorable either.
