2021 El Viñador Carmeñere

Fermented in small vat open top fermenters and aged in 100% French Oak for 24 months gives our wines balance and complexity showcasing the fruit and vineyard quality. Our Red Mountain Carmeñere captures the depth and intense structure found in the Red Mountain AVA. Hints of grilled jalapenos, a trademark character of this variety compliments the fruit nature of this wine. Hints of mocha, leather and clove dance on the pallet. Enjoy with lamb, steak, carne asada, peppered chicken, and salmon dishes.
