This wine had one of those labels I instinctively pass over at the store. Since I knew what I was looking for 
Carmenere winethis time, the only thing that mattered was the varietal. It’s abeled as a reserve 2003 from the Maipo Valley, Chile. Slightly darker than the other Carmenere, this one had aromas of leather and tobacco with a little plum. This wine tasted fatter with more ripe fruit flavors of plum and raison. Noticeably more tannic with a longer finish of spice and some heat. Might be better with another year of aging. Once again not bad for the price.
I cannot deny that the price of these wines have influence on the ratings. With appropriate food pairings, I think the average wine drinker would enjoy these as dinner wines. I’ll pick up a couple to have on standby for a good stewed meat dish.

William Fevre presentation:
“Always a challenge, this Pinot Noir is the only one produced in Maipo Alto and astonishes with its delicateness and elegance. Vinified through a manual for optimum extraction of aromas and colour, this wine unveils the surprising grace of raspberries, strauberries and cherries dancing in unison on the nose. Together with the fresh and balanced palate, these create and original wine to enjoy.

Chocalan Vineyard Presentation :
Intense, with a dark red colour and a strong aromatic nature. It is characterized by a highly concentrated flavour of berries (blackcurrants and blackberries). In the nose firstly notes of tea can be appreciated followed by plums, chocolate and cinammon, with a touch of mint at the finish. On the palate it is flexible, rich and complete “even silky” completely maintaining its freshness. It is infused with an aroma of mature fruits, and counts on a long and well balanced finish.
