Calm, cool, collected aromas of herbal blackberry and plum set up a plump palate with integrated, mild tannins. This tastes dark, toasty and mostly of roasted berry fruits, while it finishes on oaky spice notes and a hint of chocolate.

Meaty, earthy aromas of mixed berry fruits show a fair amount of wood. The palate is ripe and blocky, with black-fruit flavors, primarily blackberry and plum, accented by a noticeable herbal element. Toasty and spicy on the finish, this is a commendable value-priced Carmenère.

Herbal, spicy berry aromas are varietally correct. This has a chunky mouthfeel and also some flatness to the palate. Flavors of herbal berry, spice and lactic oak finish a bit green, with herbal, olive notes.
