Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Viniterra Carmenere 2010, a delicate yet attractive red from High Agrelo district
Viniterra Carmenere 2010, By Viniterra Wines, USD 13
www.viniterra.com.ar
A Carmenere from High Agrelo District of lujan de Cuyo Departament, Central Mendoza.
Nice and delicate like Carmenere uses to be. Red soft and smooth cherries with a nice and friendly acidity and a toach of toast
that gives the wine an exotic edge. Very mild spice and almost no herbal edge to it, both of which are fairly common in Chile´s Carmenere. A wine to enjoy complete before 3 to 4 years old
A wine most people will enjoy easily. An 88 point red and a great value too ,at the premium level.
