Today we review a $9 red wine from Chile — a carmenére — which I found at Total Wine.
Hi! Today we look at a different kind of wine, a carmenére. That’s a grape. For those of you just getting into wine, this was a helpful fact when I first started — all these names, merlot, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, are just the names of different kinds of grapes.
So, what does this stuff taste like? Have you ever gotten a big cigarette lighter and a piece of saddle leather and just lit that sucker up, blew it out, and then sucked on it? Me either. But I feel like this describes the experience I’m having right now. It’s not very good. But for $9, what do you expect? Well, I don’t expect much. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to recommend this wine. It tasted “cheap” to me on my first sip, and later sips didn’t really change my mind. Unfortunately, this wine is not recommended.
Next!
