Carmenere is popular in Chile, less so in this country, although that's changing. This Cabernet-like wine is inky black, and opens with big gooey aromas of blackberry jam, dark honey, smoky vanilla and a rich earthiness. It tastes simply grand, with enormously extracted blackberry flavors, hugely rich and complicated, but bone dry. Try it with rich foods like braised oxtails or barbecued ribs.
