Very nice and properly aged Carmenere. I am pleasantly surprised of the level of tannins in the wine, they are at this point nice round and soft and accompanied by lots of fruit preserve.I had this wine in cellar for about 5 years.
Yeah I remember the Santa Rita's range. I was also a fan of their Cab Sav. I have found a distributor here so I will have to add a few to the cellar!
