Wine Details
Price:
$45.00 per bottle
Description:
Sophistication and Class with plenty of panache. This varietal has grown up since its Reininger debut last year. Shedding some of its “in your face” and “chew it up” attitude, this more refined 2003 Carmenere has learned to control and present its larger than life varietal character of white pepper, spice, boysenberry, blackberry, and black cherry in the REININGER tradition of restraint and elegance. This is the most intriguing wine REININGER has ever made!

Varietal Definition
Carmenère:
The now resurgent Carmenère grape was brought to Chile in the 1850s before it was virtually wiped out in Europe by the phylloxera epidemic in the 1880s. It has since thrived in Chile, and was mistaken for Merlot until its spicy and distinctive flavor was rediscovered and developed separately from Merlot in recent years.
