Estampa 2006 Reserve Assemblage Carmenere-Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc Red (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Reserve Assemblage Carmenere-Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc
Variety: Red Blend Colchagua Valley
Winery: Estampa /

A bit grassy and green on the nose, probably due to the Carmenère portion in the blend. The palate is narrow but firm, with tight tannins creating some roughness. Flavors of red fruits and green herbs conflict a bit, while the finish is of carob and red sucking candy. Good but a little green.
