Tasting - San Elias Carmenere 2014


Name: San Elias Carmenere
Variety: 100% Carmenere
Region: Valle Central
Country: Chile
Year: 2014
Price: $9

Review: This medium-bodied red offers roasted plum, kirsch, sage, and game notes, with light tannins supporting the spicy finish.

My Review: On the nose, I smelled blackberries and also a cheese smell. Despite its soft tannins, this wine felt very acidic and left an unpleasantly dry and long finish in my mouth. I was not a fan of this wine but think that pairing it with cheese could help change my mind. 

I did not have any food with this wine.
