An intense nose with that characteristic wild herb aroma note shares the stage with smoke and dusty earth surrounding blackberry fruit. A classic Carmenere.
More black fruit and savory herbs on the medium-to-full bodied palate. A wine with some intensity and complexity it is quite juicy up front and but shows a rustic aspect developing an astringent finish with sandy tannins and some wood notes.
I wouldn’t recommend it for the smooth and sweet crowd but if you like personality and some toughness in your wine this will satisfy.

An Iggy Pop wine to be sure:
As a budget wine, this is decent juice. Costco had it for 6-7 dollars over the past few years. I would not pay 10. And I have no idea how this wine is connected to Iggy Pop–maybe poppy juice but not carmenere.
