La Playa 2005 Block Selection Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Block Selection
Variety: Carmenère Colchagua Valley
Winery: La Playa /

There’s some tingle and bounce to the nose, which exhibits the variety’s herbal character. The palate is fresh, a touch sheering, and good overall; cherry flavors are in the lead, with vanilla playing second fiddle. Long and a bit grating on the finish. Carmenère with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
