Santa Alicia 2007 Gran Reserva de los Andes Carmenère (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Gran Reserva de los Andes
Variety: Carmenère Maipo Valley
Winery: Santa Alicia /

Not as dark and sticky as many wines of this variety; the nose is defined by cherry and raspberry along with barnyard and animal hide. At first the palate seems sharp and acidic, but with time it settles on fuller, more creamy cherry and raspberry along with mocha. Narrow on the finish but fresh and forward.
