Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in the glass. Rose, violet, and wild blackberry on the nose. A short time in French oak adds a hint of vanilla and berry jam. Smooth and velvety on the palate.

Serve & Pair

Serve at 16 to 18°C (61 to 64°F). Lighter than our bigger reds, it works with a wide range of food. Try it with roast chicken or duck, grilled pork or lamb, stuffed peppers, fërgesë, mushroom dishes, and aged cheeses.

Why We Chose It

Most people do not expect to find Carmenere in Albania, and that alone makes it worth trying. What makes this bottle good is how easy it is to drink. It is soft and floral with dark fruit, and it works just as well on a weeknight as at a big dinner.
