Tasting - San Elias Carmenere

Name: San Elias Carmenere
Variety: Carmenere
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2010
Price: $5.95

Critic Review: The grapes for this Carménère are selected from vineyards in the Central Valley. Beautiful red fruit aromas. Supple and round in the mouth, the wine pairs well with full flavored cheeses and lamb.

My Review: This wine smelled sweet, like dark cherries and herbal at the same time.  The mid palate and finish are very smoky.  The overall taste is very herbal and a little harsh.  I didn't really care for this wine and I did not try this wine with food.
