Wednesday, October 5, 2016 - I can see why this grape was significant to Bordeaux wines before the 20th century. This wine fools me every time...I think I am drinking merlot!
Ok...the skinny. this wine is full-bodied, full-flavored & deeply colored that combines some of the best qualities from Cab Sauv & Merlot. Olive, spice, and black plum aromas come with some grit and savory accents.
This is well packed and voluminous; flavors of olive, plum, and wild berry finish sturdy and smooth, with minty accents.
If you are looking for a good introduction to the positives of Carmenère, try this."
