Valle de Curicó, Chile — Carmenère

This Carmenère from Viña Echeverría is a smooth, spicy crowd-pleaser. Packed with ripe blackberries, plum and a touch of green pepper and cocoa, it’s rich but well-balanced, with soft tannins and a lovely warm finish. A proper Chilean classic that delivers far more than its price tag suggests.

Perfect with grilled meats, tacos al pastor or roasted red peppers. It’s generous, comforting and full of easy charm — the kind of red that keeps everyone topping up their glass.
