Proof of terroir: this is damn fine Tempranillo, but it is definitely not Rioja. — 10 years ago

That nice balance of Napa and Rioja; soft, plump jammy stone fruits with a bit of cigar box kick. — 9 years ago
This is showing really great. Even in context of actual Rioja. — 9 years ago
Leather and tobacco on the nose; leather, pepper, and licorice on the palate; long pepper finish. On a blind taste I would probably confuse this with a well aged Rioja. — 9 years ago

Allow me to start with a confession: I love Carmenere. Never had a glass I didn't like. Oddly enough, it's really the only grape from Chile I've truly enjoyed (that's probably not fair, so let's just say Carmenere is definitely head and shoulders above any of the competition. And this doesn't even factor in the ridiculous value - this particular bottle fits into the sub $10 range. It's kind of like a new world Rioja, which incidentally, also tends to be a bargain (and delicious). Dark red fruit - plums, stewed raspberries and blackberries - meet tobacco, farm pasture, eucalyptus, and menthol (and a touch of petrol) on the nose. Silky smooth tannins greet the palette, with black and red fruits forward and a bit of rich, black soil in the background. Everyone's tastes are different, of course, but if you haven't found your wag to a Chilean Carmenere yet you should really give one a try. — 9 years ago
