A delicious rendering of Carmenere, this shows lots of intense blackberry fruit with undertones of licorice and dried herbs. Very intense but not overblown or overbearing, this will stand up to just about any food that you can throw at it, yet it is so well made that it will be quite pleasant for sipping with simple finger foods for those who wish to drink it this way.
