Viña Tarapacá Reserva Carmenère 2018 (Chile)

Description

Oak, Spice, Tobacco

"The wine is gorgeously ripe and fragrant on the nose showing blackberry, dark cherry, thyme, dark spice and cedar characters, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate that’s richly textured and persistent. Harmonious, balanced and highly enjoyable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2019

Intense red aromas of strawberries, figs, tobacco, vanilla and toasted oak. Lots of strawberry, figs and blackberry on the front and mid palate while on the finish a delightful spicy and coffee combination is to be had. Medium body, soft and round elegant tannins with character, finishing long. 

Food Pairing: Try on its own, and, with red meats, like a South American style BBQ, cheeses, pastas with cheese based sauces, red sauce, and beef empanadas.
