Carmenere – Chile

Grape Variety: 90% Carmenere, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes: Bright violet color with very soft tannins and a very juicy palette with an earthy, long lasting and smooth finish.

Food Pairings: Lamb curry, ratatouille, beef Bourgignon and Eugenio’s favorite – beef short ribs (slow cooked on a lazy Sunday afternoon).

Recipe: Wild Rice Harvest Salad by Kate in the Kitchen

What Others Say:  The Thirsty Kitten, The Savvy Lush

Eugenio Says: We finally managed to tame this strong and temperamental varietal. How? don’t tell anyone but we blended 10% Cabernet Sauvignon to it.
