10/26/12: This hedonistic carmenere offers scents of black pepper, game meat, cherry, cigar and bay leaf. Flavored with pepper, saline, smoke, spiced cherry, cinnamon, clove and black fruit. Extremely smooth, elegant, pure with a medium length finish.

Popped and poured and had with a grilled Culotte Sirloin steak. Dark fruit wrapped in spice with a nice full mouth and medium finish. Definitely got better over the 2 hours it was open. I expect it would be better with more time in the bottle. I liked the 2007 a little more as it had better structure but this was a very nice Carmenere that I would definately buy again.

Exploring the Walla Walla Valley; 5/24/2013-5/27/2013 (Walla Walla, WA): Classic Carmenere. Tons of pepper throughout with red fruit accents. Appears to be very food friendly.
