Best Buy in the Wine Enthusiast: "Dark plum, herb and charcoal aromas give this Carmenère a very sound bouquet. The palate is ripe and smooth. With pure berry fruit, a smack of fresh herbs and even a hint of silk to the feel, this wine over delivers." (9/1/08) One of Wine & Spirits Top 100 Values of the Year: "A juicy and well-balanced Carmenere, this offers herbal and green pepper aromas with chocolaty flavors that accentuate its soft, rounded texture. For hamburgers." (06/09) This 2007 Carménère, from a super quality conscious estate owned by California's Kendall-Jackson, is a mélange of blackberries, black pepper and cassis. The flavors are broad, rich and spicy. The tannins are soft and the acid is firm. This wine deliciously captures the personality of the grape and the character of the El Maitén vineyard. With 13% cabernet sauvignon. Aged for 9 months in French (70%) and American (30%) oak. |
