Natalie's Score: 91/100

A juicy and well-priced medium-plus-bodied Carmenère produced by Alto de Casablanca from the Colchagua Valley. Nicely balanced and layered with black currant, chocolate, minty and garrigue herb flavours on the palate finishing long and refreshing. The Caménère grapes for this wine enjoy a warm southern exposure along the Tinguiririca River. Pair with smoked meats, game and strong cheeses.
