Vistamar 2009 Enki Carmenère-Carignan Red (Central Valley)

Country: Chile / Enki Carmenère-Carignan
Variety: Red Blend Central Valley
Winery: Vistamar /

This blend of 60% Carmenère and 40% Carignan opens with campfire, cassis, chocolate, oak and minty aromas. A wall of acidity greets you on the palate, creating a clampy, rough feel. In terms of flavor, oak is up front and behind that there’s graphite and minty, herbal fruit in front of a finish with tobacco, vanilla and length.
