Chilean Carménère, long thought to be Merlot, is a fascinating grape worth discovering. This bold, full-bodied wine is dense purple in colour with a nose of plums and vanilla oak. Richly extracted flavours of blackcurrants backed by spicy oak fill the palate. The mouthfeel is soft and the flavour lingering. It costs a bottle. Match it with rich meat dishes.
