NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied Chilean Carménère from Santa Rita Pehuén is a bold, yet elegant red for those who appreciate the complexity of a classic Bordeaux-style blend.Aromas of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate waft from the glass, transitioning to bright flavors of ripe cherry, licorice, and mocha on the palate. A pleasant acidity and velvety tannins round out this well-balanced wine, making it a great choice for pairing with grilled meats, sharp cheeses, and hearty stews.
