Top Rated Carmenere

This varietal is a native of the Bordeaux region of France, though today, it is grown primarily in South America. The medium-bodied red wine is known for its depth of color, soft tannins and aromas of red fruits, berries and spices. Its complex, herbal flavor can sometimes be reminiscent of tobacco, dark chocolate and leather. These are the best Carmenères we've tasted, starting with our highest rated wines.
