This Viu Manent Estate Collection Reserva Carménère is a delightful expression of Chilean terroir.The aromas are a mix of sweet red fruit and dried herbs, with a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine shows an intense flavor of dark berry, black pepper, and a hint of dark chocolate. The body is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with firm tannins that lead to a long, lingering finish. Overall, this is an excellent example of Carménère, and a great way to discover the unique character of Chilean wines.
