Staff Pick Notes

Ever had a Carménère before? One of the original six grapes of Bordeaux, it's rarely grown there anymore, but has flourished in Chile's Central Valley over the past 150 years. This is a great introduction to the grape if you are new to it. While it doesn't have a long finish, the Chono Carménère has great acidity and is very enjoyable, with luscious notes of blackberries, blackcurrant, ripe blueberries, and spice. Perfectly suited for weeknight grilling. Fresh enough for summer and even better alongside cool weather comfort food like tagine or chili.

No more, however: it was difficult to grow and often gave low yields, so the French mostly abandoned it. It has recently found a home in Chile, where it has successfully been made into full-bodied, deep red varietals.
