Santa Ema 2006 Amplus Old Vines Carignan (Peumo)

Country: Chile / Amplus Old Vines
Variety: Carignan Peumo
Winery: Santa Ema /

A rock-solid wine with bright currant, berry and rooty, cola-infused aromas. The mouthfeel is excellent and integrated, with earthy, savory, spicy flavors of blackberry, cherry and tea. Long and savory on the finish, with complexity. Wines like this are what make the Chilean Carignan category worth exploring. Drink now through 2012.
