Winemaker Notes
Due to the dry season and lower temperatures for the 2010 vintage, grapes ripened in optimal conditions to produce complex, well balanced wines with intense aromas, bright freshness, elegance and fruit intensity. This wine is a deep crimson color, aromas of ripe red fruits, spices, and fresh berries. Dark cherry, plum, and currant are wrapped in smoky spice and a hint of dark chocolate.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Carmenere is a glass-coating opaque purple color. Balsam wood, wild berries, brier, and herbal notes inform the nose of a dense, plush, savory wine. Mouth-filling, ripe, and pleasure-bent, it is an excellent value that will provide enjoyment over the next 5-6 years.

Primus is a leading brand in the Chilean premium segment and a preeminent example of Chilean quality capabilities. The name Primus is Latin and means “the first” or “the first among its peers”, and for good reason. The winery was founded more than 20 years ago by Agustin Hunneus. It was truly a pioneering brand as the first blend of the signature red grapes of Chile: Cabernet and Carmenere. Today, The Blend is still the standard bearer for Primus, and has been joined by two single varietal wines: Primus Cabernet Sauvignon and Primus Carmenere. Fruit is selected from the most renowned areas in Chile for red varieties: Apalta, a sub-region Colchagua, and Maipo. These are food wines, known for their balance, elegance and freshness. Aging in oak barrels and foudres gives elegance and finesse to the wines. All farming practices are organic.
