Al from Sahali Liquor Store took us to Chile this morning with the Carmenere from Carmen Wine. A red wine with an intense, violet-ruby colour. The bouquet is fruity with strong plum, cherry, and mulberry notes. The aroma also has a vegetable edge of ripe red pepper, and the flavour is complex, with jams, spinach, and chocolate. Barrel aging lends this wine pleasant smoky and toast notes, bringing out its spices; texture is soft, with rounded tannins and medium body. Pair this exceptionally well valued wine with Lamb or Beef.
