Tasting San Elias Carmenere

Name: San Elias Carmenere

Variety: Carmenere

Region: Valle Central

Country: Chile

Year: 2014

Price: $9

Shop Review: This medium-bodied red offers roasted plum, kirsch, sage and game notes, with light tannins supporting the spicy finish.

My Review: This was one of the more interesting wines I have tried because it was very different. It had a smoky smell but also had a smell like a dark cooking chocolate. It tasted like tobacco or a dark roast coffee, something that was a tad offsetting to a person used to sweet wine. It definitely had a woody smell as well!

I didn't have this with food and would be interested how it's unique flavor would go with food!
