Dusty ruby color. Aromas and flavors of roast beet, black pepper and olive, and green herbs with a satiny, lively, dry medium body and a warming, interesting, breezy finish with notes of grilled meat, dried green herbs and pepper, and purple flowers. A savory and rustic wine for smoky dish with a little bit of fat; a delight for someone that enjoys grippy tannin and nuanced fruit.

Chile is home to many notable red wines beside Carmenère. Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are planted in large numbers in many of the country's regions. Maipo Valley is the leading region for these wines, especially in terms of quality, which is often world-class. These grapes are also grown in Chile's warm Central Valley, which produces inexpensive wines of very good character.

Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Pinot Noir are also excellent Chilean reds. Syrah has adapted well to both cool (San Antonio and Casablanca Valleys) and warm regions (Colchagua Valley) in the country, while Pinot Noirs from Leyda and San Antonio Valleys near the Pacific Ocean display great complexity.
