Carmenère is a rarity in California, but this bottling, which includes 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc, makes a strong case for planting more. Smoky blueberry and black currant scents meet with bacon fat, toast and rocky minerality on the nose. The palate blends black plum with vanilla bean and mocha flavors. Quite accessible, interesting and delicious.
