WHAT: Carmen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 (red) Rating: NNN
WHERE: Maipo Valley, Chile
WHY: The always reliable Carmen Chardonnay is no longer being carried by the LCBO. All the more reason to go out and buy this so as to ensure that it, too, doesn’t get delisted. Full-bodied, smooth, lots of fruit and bearing the usual Chilean bouquet that I think of as jungle-like – very vegetal, sort of like being inside a greenhouse. An enjoyable, solid, big red. Pair with spicy beef dishes.
PRICE: 750 ml/$16.95
AVAILABILITY: At select liquor stores (product #358309)
