Varietal: Carménère

Retail Price: $12.00

Tasting Notes: The nose on this wine is pretty savory; notes of BBQ beef. On the palate it is soft, but not subtle. This dry red tastes of eucalyptus and fresh herbs, with a touch of blueberry, with hints of oak. Tannins are there, but not in your face. Ok, buy the glass, but shines with food.
