winemaker's notes:
Looking for an amazing value, delicious and new wine? This wine was what Bordeaux was originally primarily made from, now its found almost exclusively in Chile. This is a delicious example of this incredible variety, which combines the best of Cabernet and Merlot - Concha y Toro makes the best examples of this unique variety in the world.
Dark and deep red. Attractive aromas of dark plums, blackcurrant and chocolate, with hints of coffee and toasted American oak. Notes of dark plums and spice, with a generous touch of toasted American oak and a soft and well structured mouthfilling texture.
Enjoy with fresh light dishes based on meat and vegetables. Also a good accompaniment to ripe cheese.

I am completely sold on this wine. I am a fan of Pinot Noir, this makes me very happy for a lot less money. The light fruit, clean finish, mild tanins all make it a great wine for all to enjoy. The fact that the Carmenere was mistaken for a Merlot grape for years, means that it is well bodied wine as well, with a mass appeal. I love it, buy several bottles at a time, and give it as gifts now as well.

Impressive. I love Pinot Noirs, most reds in general. This is a fantastic red. Mild, clean, balanced fruit with a smooth finish. I like to try a wine under $10 every time I order, and this was better than 2 of the $20+ wines I purchased. I am sold.
