Tasting: San Elias Carmenere


Name - San Elias Carmenere
Variety - Carmenere
Region - Valle Central
Country - Chile
Year - 2014
Price - Regular Price = $9; however it was on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $5.95. 

Wine Review - This medium-bodied red offers roasted plum, kirsch, sage and game notes, with light tannins supporting the spicy finish.

Personal Review - .This wine has a phenomenal, spicy smell.  The taste, however, was not something I liked.  This Carmenere was just over-powered with spices and was extremely dry; therefore, it was really hard to taste specific, individual spices.  This was my least favorite wine that I have ever tasted, which was very disappointing since it smelled so delicious!

Food - I did not try this wine with food.
