Region: Valle Central
Country: Chile

Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
This medium-bodied red offers roasted plum, kirsch, sage and game notes, with light tannins supporting the spicy finish.
Your Review: 
This offers a nice bouquet of something herbal.  Someone mentioned one the vine tomatoes, which actually makes a lot of sense.  That natural, vine smell.  Its flavor was fruity, but not necessarily something jammy.  It was a nice red wine, and got me interested in trying other Carmenere.
I did not try this with food.
