Chunky, rubbery and leathery on the nose, but there’s plenty of berry fruit, too. For an $11 wine, the palate is lush and plump, with big tannins and full flavors of roasted cherry, plum, herbs and tomato. Finishes long and persistent, but fresh. Interesting and nicely done for Chilean Cab Franc. ——M.S.(12/31/2010)—— 87

The good side of this concept wine is that it tells the story of Carmenere, the so-called lost Bordeaux variety. Unfortunately, not as much attention was paid to the wine itself, which includes 30% Merlot and tastes mildly of raspberry and herbs but also shows a hard, grating mouthfeel. .——M.S.(5/1/2007)—— 82
