Echeverria Carmenere Reserva

Born from vines once mistaken for Merlot and nearly lost to time, this Carménère has found its true home in the fertile soils of Chile’s Curicó Valley. The Echeverría family coaxes something special from these ancient roots — a red wine that speaks of rediscovery and quiet confidence.

It opens with a smoky, earthy invitation, like walking through a vineyard just after the rain. Aromas of black cherry and roasted pepper rise up, laced with a whisper of cocoa and bay leaf. The palate is plush and polished, with velvety tannins wrapping around dark plum, cedar, and a hint of tobacco — smooth, but with a bit of wildness still flickering underneath.
