Carmenere used to be grown in the Bordeaux region of France but is now only found in Chile. Carmenere tends to be a mellow grape that produces soft tannins and it is much more mellow than a malbec or cab. $9 at Trader Joes

• Spicy and peppery with a little bit of smoke and oak.
• A masculine tasting wine in the sense that it is more earthy rather than fruity.
• A bit harsh on the tongue at first but decanting mellowed and rounded it out.
• Once decanted, oak, and a coffee flavors came out followed by slight berry tastes.
• Not very complex but very easy and enjoyable to drink.
• A great every day wine.
• Excellent wine for the price. Much like going into a gas station and buying a $1.00 scratcher and winning $20.00. It is not going to make you rich and will not do cartwheels down the street; but non the less, you are happy you picked up the ticket.
