Carmen Gran Reserva Carmenere El Penasco Vineyard 2012

Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileThere little doubt this is carmenère from its smoky tobacco to its peppery black fruit. The plate is similar with smoky, meaty, sappy, bay leaf and black cherry jam fruit with some sweet vanilla in the finish. Intense and herbaceous its best served with a grilled steak and some chimichurri sauce.Tasted: 21 March 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
