Viu Manent 2007 Secreto Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

Country: Chile / Secreto
Variety: Carmenère Colchagua Valley
Winery: Viu Manent /

A full, dark and meaty style of Carmenère, with rubbery dark-fruit aromas that steer it in the right direction. The palate is chewy and ripe, with cola, black cherry, prune and coffee flavors, while the palate is flush but loses steam fairly quickly. Not a complex wine, but one that’s good for light-minded drinking.
