Natalie's Score: 92/100

Another stellar vintage for this single vineyard Carmenère rocks! Carmenère is the flagship red wine of Chile. Loving the layers of fleshy black plums. Lots of concentration and length. Velvet texture on the palate. The wines from San Pedro's 1865 line come from its own vineyard planted with a specific variety. The Carmenère comes from the winery's property in the Maule Valley, with rolling hillside vineyards averaging 20 years of age and planted in alluvial soil with angular stones to control plant vigour. This robust red wine finishes with notes of cassis and dried tobacco. Great balance and depth. Try it with a rack of lamb tonight. Highly recommended.

Carmenère food pairings: venison, ratatouille, rabbit stew, bison steaks.

Reviews and Ratings

From the Maule Valley, San Pedro 1865 (2014) is a single vineyard Carmenère. This vintage is fantastic with lots of sweet, ripe fruit, velvety tannins, savoury spices all wrapped up with great acidity. Very nice and drink lots. The Carmenère come from estates in the Maule Valley, with rolling hillside vineyards averaging 20 years in vine age. - Community Wine Reviews
