Winemaker Notes
"The 2003 Carmenere "Carmin de Peumo", the flagship Carmenere, is a blend of the best parcels in the Peumo Vineyard. It spent 20 months in new French oak and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Black/purple colored, it offers a mammoth perfume of toasty oak, vanilla, scorched earth, leather, espresso roast, and blueberry jam. This is followed by an extravagantly rich, nearly over-ripe, slightly over-the-top, layered wine that goes on and on to its pure finish. Can there be too much of a good thing? It's a gamble but with a big up-side.

This is firm and delicious with dark chocolate, walnuts and hints of berry. Full body, silky tannins and a long finish. This is the first vintage of the wine. It's more austere and firm now. 88% carmenere, 1.5% petit verdot, 10.5% cabernet sauvignon.
