Estampa 2006 Carménère-Merlot Red (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Carménère-Merlot
Variety: Red Blend Colchagua Valley
Winery: Estampa /

Seems as though Estampa did well with its value-priced red wines in 2006. This Carmenère-Merlot blend is dark, sweet and nicely balanced. It gets the important things like tannins and acidity right, and then really pours on the ripeness of fruit. Delivers a lot for an under-$10 wine.
