Carmenère Reserve – 2008; Terra Andina; Santiago, Chile

This Carmenère does justice to one of Chile’s signature varietals. The deep purple-red hue compliments the great smooth flavor of this full bodied wine. Initially the fruit forward component gets your taste buds excited as it transitions to the smoky tobacco flavors that linger at the end and balance well with the soft tannins.  This “lost grape of Bordeaux” is one uncommon wine that will impress you and your dinner guests.
