Retail $11. 100% Carménère. Originally from the Médoc in Bordeaux, but today it is difficult to find much Carménère outside of Chile where it was introduced about 150 years ago--but the Chileans thought it to be Merlot! Oh well, Carménère is thriving there now. Dark in the glass with oodles of red fruit and a heavy dose of black pepper. The palate is fruity, big, bold, and again, quite peppery. One could do a whole lot worse for $11. thedrunkencyclist.com
