Natalie's Score: 93/100

Primus 2019 Carmenère is a full-bodied Chilean Carmenère fragrant with earthy florals, ripe red berry fruit, plum and herbal aromas. The wine is dry, medium-plus-bodied, fresh and smooth on the palate with red berry, cherry, savoury herbs and a kiss of pepper spice. Tannins are fine and velvety. Grapes were sourced from younger vines from south-facing vineyards along the Tinguiririca River in the Apalta region of Colchagua. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

Carmenère food pairings: wine-braised beef, turkey with gravy, chorizo tacos, bean fajitas.
