Reviews and Ratings

Victoria Donald rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Carmen Who??

Carmenere, a very underestimated varietal. Originally planted in Medoc region of Bordeaux, France where it was mostly used for blending and considered one of the original 6 grapes of Bordeaux. Now rarely found in France, the largest production and producing region is Chile!

CHILCAS Carmenere Reserva is a full bodied, complex yet pretty wine that is rich, silky, smooth, very approachable and easy to drink... It shows ripe dark fruit (blackberry and plum) with vanilla, cinammon and notes of black pepper, intertwined with roasted coffee and tobacco.

Tannins, supple and silky and the palate presents good volume, with silky elegant tannins. Yummie!
I love the easy-ness of this wine. It makes me smile :)

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
