We chose a red from Chile:
Vina Maipo Carmenere/Cabernet Sauvignon
This beautiful Winery is located in "Quinta de Maipo", just 38 Kilometres from Santiago. This wine is 85% Carmenere and 15% Cabernet. According to the website it is handpicked and mechanically harvested in April. Perfect for our celebration in May. Our bottle is labelled ~Central Valley 2010~. This wine is aged for 2-5 Months and now they deliver to over 60 countries.
It comes on soft to the "touch" on your tongue and the flavor has a surprisingly lasting taste. I would enjoy this wine with something spicy, maybe a nice pork loin dinner with a sweet glaze of some sort or a seafood pasta dish.
Tonight we enjoyed it with popcorn and cajun spice. YUMMY!
Always remember it is delicious even on it's own!!!
Cheers
