Junta 2010 Grand Reserve Carmenère (Curicó Valley)

Country: Chile / Grand Reserve
Variety: Carmenère Curicó Valley
Winery: Junta /

With aromas of black fruit, earth, rubber and tomato leaf, this fits the bill for Carmenère. The palate is snappy and lively, with drying, rubbery tannins. Flavors of zesty plum and berry are herbal and spicy, and it finishes with vitality and a scouring scrub of acidity and tannic clamp.
