This is my 2nd favorite varietal behind Zinfandel. This is the more reasonable, well balanced, put together brother of a Zinfandel. While Zin is a flashy in your face spicy peppery bold, Carmenere is extremely well balanced on every account. This estate? Post graduate level! Fruit, French oak, dryness, acidity are all perfectly balanced! Cannot taste the 5% cab franc but it must contribute perfectly.
