GRANDE RÉSERVE CARMENÈRE 2014 91 W&S Jun17

Best Buy & Year’s Best Carmenere 2016. Los Vascos is known for its cabernet sauvignon, which accounts for 85% of the winery’s 1,580 acres. Carmenère corresponds to only 5% which they use for a single wine, this Grande Reserve, with a seductive balance between herbal and red-fruit notes. It feels narrow in structure, with tannins that are pointed and refined, refreshing with grilled pork tenderloin.
