Dark and tarry at first, then more red and floral as it opens. It shows snappy acidity and fresh, herbal-tasting plum, cherry and berry flavors along with some cocoa and spice. Fades fast on the finish, leaving a mild acidic burn. 1 Note

Strange spice and ground cinnamon aromas shadow the fruit, which may be a good thing because the palate is flat and murky, with jammy, sweet flavors and not much follow up on the backside. Finishes creamy but bitter tasting. 1 Note

Overloaded with Middle Eastern spice aromas and a chewy, meaty quality that submerges any fruit that might be present. A total oddball with hefty oak; it tastes like cumin-infused syrup. 1 Note

Produced in a subsection of Curicó, this wine is hot and leathery, with some saline/chlorine notes on the brambly nose. The palate offers plum and cherry, while the finish is sweet and tannic. 1 Note

A plump, round, mostly welcoming bouquet sets you up for full cherry, strawberry, plum and sucking candy flavors. Feels good across the palate and finishes sturdy, with a touch of overt vanilla oak. Like always, this represents everyday Carmenère in fine form. 1 Note

Rustic and leathery, with horse, licorice and black plum on the nose. Saturated but rough in the mouth, with giant crushed-fruit flavors that push hard tannins and bold acidity. An untamed wine. 1 Note

Early aromas of balsam wood, green herbs and olive are backed by dark fruit notes, while the palate delivers playful raspberry flavors alongside olive. It’s a bit acidic but short on the finish. Typical and pretty good as a whole. 1 Note

Good quality and quantity carry this forward, jumpy red. The nose is ample and the palate doesn’t scrimp. There’s plenty of classic herbal berry, plum and pepper on display, but the acidity seems spiky. A little rough but lots of flavor and integrity for the price. 1 Note

Quite murky and overoaked. The nose drips root beer and tree bark, while the palate is a jumble of wood spice, beefy fruit and heat. Balance and freshness are fleeting in this wine. 1 Note

The bouquet is redolent of air freshener and light spices but not much else. The palate, meanwhile, is candied and short on substance; it’s sweet yet hollow, and the finish is drying and peppery. Imported by Wineco Corp. 1 Note
