Casillero del Daiblo 2010 Carmenere ($10) is from Chile and one of many labels from Concha y Toro. A bold raspberry aroma. Flavors of blackberry and smoke, with a long spice finish. Mild tannins. Customers enjoyed this. Winemaker's Notes: "Dark, deep and bright purple. Chocolate, coffee and spicy aromas combine with raspberry and blackberry flavours in this Carmenere, Chile's very own grape. Perfect to enjoy with winter stews or grilled summer barbecues.
Successful matches with Carmenere:
Carmenere is a soft, spicy red wine that goes brilliantly with spicy meat dishes. Try it with a lightly spiced lamb biryani or curry.
Good Carmenere is really ripe and juicy, making it the perfect wine to go with rich tomato based dishes sprinkled with lots of herbs.
With its rich berry fruits and mocha flavours, Carmenere can even go with dark chocolate. Go for a really good quality chocolate with a high cocoa content."
I won't beat a dead horse with the Clos du Bois Chardonnay. This is the third tasting I've done on it (first reviewed on March 18th) and most customers still did not enjoy it.
