Azara Carmenere

The grapes for this wine come from the Maule Valley,  located at the foot of the Andes mountains in the Southern part of the Central Valley. This Carmenere is an expression of the terroir. The grapes were harvested in April with a complete level of maturity to show all their aromatic potential. The wine was aged in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks for 12 months.

POINTS
The 2009 Carmenere Gran Reserva contains 5% Petit Verdot in its blend. The wine spent 12 months in new and first use French oak barriques and over a year in bottle prior to release. Notions of wood smoke, Asian spices, incense, lavender, plum, and blueberry set the stage for a savory, spicy, medium-bodied Carmenere with a surprising sense of elegance. Balanced and lengthy with enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years, it will be at its best from 2013 to 2019.

POINTS
Dark, smoky, chocolaty and welcoming up front, then firm and juicy in the mouth, with berry flavors, chocolate, herbal notes and earth. Not overly dense or heavy, with a racy character and proper acidity on the finish. Bright and flavorful.
