Raw and green from the opening shot, this smells like bell pepper and wood. The jumbled palate is abrasive, while severely green flavors of olives, herbs, weeds and dried red fruits finish scratchy.

Berry and cassis aromas are a bit raisiny and steer clear of the varietal-based green that Carmenère is known for. This feels ripe and meaty, with ample freshness. Flavors of olive, carob, pepper and black fruits finish clean and a touch hot.
