Product Details

The very best winemakers in the world know that exceptional wine starts in the vineyard, with the perfect combination of sunlight, soil, rain, and careful cultivation. Crafting your own signature wines to that very same standard starts here...with Sommelier Select Wine Recipe Kits, exclusively from Master Vintner.

This Sommelier Select Chilean Carmenere brings the flagship varietal of Chile straight to your cellar. The medium-to-full-bodied wine’s character is distinct with its blackcurrant nose matched with fruit jam flavors. Integrated tannins allow for early consumption and its rich and complex nature will be highlighted through maturing this unique variety in light oak.

Food Pairings: This style may have originated in France but it pairs especially well with chicken mole, carne asada, Cuban-style roast pork, cotija cheese, and pepper jack, and dishes spiced with red chili flakes, black pepper, or cumin.

Toast the moments that matter with Sommelier Select, and make deliciously drinkable wines that you're going to love sharing with family and friends.

Would not buy again

This wine was way too thick, syrupy, and sweet for my taste. Im hoping it will get better over time because as of now I can’t drink it without it upsetting my stomach.

I tried this for the first time. I was presently surprised. This does deserve 4 stars.

Aromatic Chilean Carménère Wine Kit!

Not unusual for me to experience stuck fermentation when using wine kits. I find that adding a few pounds of fresh grapes and some citrus will help the fermentation process. After the first day I did not see any fermentation, so I added my own starter saved from an earlier batch. Shortly after, the batch started to boil and foam as if it was on a burner. After about three days, it settled and waited another day to transfer the batch to a six gallon carboy. Began to clear naturally so did not add any fining additives, It seems to have a pleasant floral aroma somewhat like Zinfandel. Carménère grapes contain a high level of aroma compounds called pyrazines. Will let it age a bit without oak before tasting and making any final adjustments.
