Really delightful Chilean blend built on Carmenere. To me, the 35% Syrah goes a long way. Powerful yet refined.

Vina Maquis 2010. Colchagua valley Chile. Carmenere 50%, syrah 35%, cab franc 10%, Petit verdot 5%. I love the fact that this is 50% carmenere and I love it!!!! 13.5% alc. The color is dark- the bouquet is raspberry sherbet. The initial palate is raspberry and blackberry fruits followed by a spicy peppery mid palate. There is oak and dirt on the finish with a dry completion. It is typical of a great blend but they use carmenere instead of cabernet sauvignon. Very Cool!!!!

Initial bouquet with lots of sulfur; let this sit for good 5-10 minutes. Then complexities pull through, mild salt , soft medium, tapering tannins at the end. Changes wonderfully with time; love the complexity.
