Xplorador, Central Valley (Chile) Carmenere 2009

Aug 11, 2010

By Robert Whitley

 Well-balanced and flavorful, this inexpensive Carmenere from the Concha y Toro family of wines could well be my barbecue red wine of choice this summer, particularly when I grill burgers or brats. It shows luscious black fruits with hints of spice, and it has the oomph to stand up to charred meats.
