Carménère is rapidly becoming Chile’s signature grape and wine. Long confused with Merlot, once the winemakers realized it was not and that it needed extra time to ripen, they started making intriguing wines from it. Montgras’ has a lovely array of leafy notes intertwined with fresh red fruit and a whiff of oak. Remarkably complex, it’s a great buy. Mild and supple tannins allow you to enjoy it now.
