Winery Review: "The grapes for this Carmenere are selected from vineyards in the Central Valley. Beautiful red fruit aromas. Supple and round in the mouth, the wine pairs well with full flavored cheeses and lamb."
My Review: On the nose there are definitely vegetable, soil, earth components to the bouquet. On the palate it was extremely dry and had hints of butter. This isn't one of my favorite red wines, because I couldn't detect any hints of fruit and was too dry for my liking. Perhaps this is a wine that approves with food, but it's not likely that I will try this wine again.
