Rio Alto, Carmenère, Aconcagua, 2011

In Stock Now!

We really like Carmenère as a variety: unlike so many European varieties grown in the generally warmer New World vineyards it retains balance and freshness and avoids jamminess. There’s a touch of Cabernet Franc about it, just the merest leafi ness to this ripe and friendly example from Viña San Esteban. Ripe scents, with the mildest hint of oak infl uence. Generous gush of cooked plums, a touch of vanilla and spice, and surprising length for a wine at this price. Now-2013
