From the central valley of Chile, this Carmenere is full-bodied and deeply colored, combining some of the best qualities of the Cabernet and Merlot varietals. Hints of blackberry, black cherry, tropical fruit, and spice are met with leather, chocolate and tobacco providing a back drop to the overall aromas and flavors rounded out with soft tannins, subtle toast and vanilla.
Pairs beautifully with dishes like grilled steak, stroganoff, blue and hard aged cheeses. Or, take advantage of the natural fruit spiciness and serve it up with Indian curry or a Mexican mole.
