Lovely spice notes of nutmeg and cinnamon work well with the cassis, plums, currants and oak-barrel accents of spice and creamy vanilla-caramel. It displays the cooler climes of Sonoma with bright acidity on the palate and allows the fine oak and spice to work harmoniously with the basket of red fruits. Great food wine with lamb stew and grilled red meats.
Dark berry scents and dry, tannic astringency on the nose. Shows both red currant and berry flavours, together with firm dry tannic bite, cinnamon and clove spiciness and a dash of milk chocolate on an otherwise puckery dry finish. Move over, Argentina, Chile is making waves with your signature grape!
Purplish. Red and black fruits with well-dosed oak. Nice fruity taste; oak is not too present for a well-balanced mouthfeel. Nice roundness, chewy tannins and a clean finish. A charming wine.
I have always been a fan of this bottling, and the current vintage lives up to its predecessors. Elegant and crisp, it is all about apple, peach, pear, flowers and minerals. It is an ideal aperitif wine, or pair it with mild Brie and canapés.
Offers good varietal green-apple and delicate floral character, somewhat lean on the palate with plenty of brisk acidity, mineral grip and softening lick of creaminess on the finish.
This Peumo Carménère surprises in many ways, not the least of which with value for price. Earthy, green herbal notes, with blackcurrant, ripe black cherry and a salty, almost seaweed, flickering throughout. Green coffee, cedar boughs, cranberry, anise, bay leaf all contribute interesting complexity here, far beyond what I was expecting. Fresh, medium-bodied and drinkable now, especially with grilled meats over an open flame.
Medium-deep brownish garnet. Nose of tobacco, leather, dried cherries; a hint of barnyard. Medium-bodied with dark berry flavours that are starting to dry out. Drink up.
