Carmenere is a tough grape to get right; but I think Cono Sur nails it in this bottle of
2019 Carmenere "La Rinconada"
Nice to see someone who knows their way around the finicky Carmenere grape. There's some earthy nuances here, plus some smoky and herbal characteristics. The fruit hits in the cassis realm and there's also coffee bean and spice all wrapped in a medium length finish. It's a lovely Carmenere from a grape that doesn’t see enough love and get enough respect. (****)
