San Elias Carmenere, 2010, $5.95: The grapes for this Chilean Carménère wine are selected from vineyards in the Central Valley. It has beautiful red fruit aromas that are supple and round in the mouth, and the wine pairs well with full flavored cheeses and lamb. Once again, this red wine stumped me a little; I could not really smell much or taste any of the fruit. On the second sip I could taste a little fruitiness but I could not distinguish what kind. Once again, I’m hoping my palate continues to develop for red wines.
