Natalie's Score: 88/100

Rich, black cherry liqueur aromas and flavours made this full-bodied red wine so seductive. Ultra-plush and voluptuous. Smooth and satisfying sensual pleasure. There's a terrific spice-infused finish wrapped in cedar smoke. Try this with pork tenderloin.

Carménere food pairings: hamburger, ribs in a rich sauce, spicy dishes, tomato-based dishes, beef tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

Martha Kelly AIWS - CS rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby in colour with medium plus body and silky tannins, this wine has Layers of dark fruit, blue and red berry flavours,sweet spices, chocolate, cedar, and a slight herbaceous note.
Drink now, or cellar until 2017.
Pair with beef and blue cheese, or enjoy slightly chilled on its own.
Date tasted: April 2014.
Amazingly great price for this lip-smacking delicious red wine that uses Chile's signature grape Carmenere. Loaded with fleshy dark fruit. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
