San Pedro 1865 Selected Vineyards Carmenere 2015
Valle del Maule, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe folks at 1865 made a significant commitment to carménère to get it back to respectability and to give it a platform to be an important grape in Chile. It is typically spicy and meaty with that telltale crushed pepper and lively dried bay leaf mix with smoke and black fruit. The finish is long and warm with dense, well-rounded tannins and more peppery, resinous, bay leaf notes. It’s drinkable now, but you could age it for three years in your cellar. Best with rich dishes.Tasted: 24 December 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:MB | $19.99 | 750ml | Manitoba Liquor Mart |
