We had the Tierra del Fuego Carmenere last night with a dinner of grilled chicken sandwiches (from a Bobby Flay recipe) and pasta. We bought this wine at a little wine store in St. Augustine when Krista and I spent a couple of days there in December for our anniversary. The wine was highly recommended by the store owner and since we both love Carmenere, we were excited to try it.
This wine was right in our comfort zone -- it was big and bold with dark fruit, chocolate, and coffee. It had nice big tannins and a weighty feel in the mouth. We poured it through the Vinturi to get some air into the wine quickly and to tame some of the oak.
We really liked this one. You can't really go wrong with a good Carmenere from Chile.
