Natalie's Score: 93/100

Wow, this single vineyard Carmenere rocks! Carmenere is arguably the flagship red wine of Chile. It has it all: concentrated, rich black fruit flavours and depth, yet it's supple and smooth with a long finish. Velvet on the palate, lingering in the mind. This robust red wine finishes with notes of cassis and dried tobacco. Great balance and depth. Try it with a rack of lamb tonight. Highly recommended.

Carmenere food pairings: venison, ratatouille, rabbit stew, bison steaks.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is a dark purple full-bodied red from Maule Valley, Chile, made from Carmenere grapes. Ripe red fruit and smoke on the nose and a rich, complex palate of dark cassis and red ripe fruit, tobacco and spice. Very smooth mouthfeel. A memorable wine and one to try soon with hearty fall stews, roast leg of lamb, elk or bison.

Robert Convery rated this wine as 90/100
The wines from San Pedro's 1865 line come from its own vineyard planted with a specific variety. The Carmenere comes from the winery's property in the Maule Valley, with rolling hillside vineyards averaging 20 years of age and planted in alluvial soil with angular stones to control plant vigour. - Community Wine Reviews
