GUINIGI

Carmen 2023 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, D.O. Maipo Valley, Chile ($18)

Tense and chalky – a lifeline of bright plum and dried violets with a defined structure. Prickly with white pepper, its tannins glassy across the palate with a stroke of graphite. Its identity speaks to its freshness from the cooler climate, with dense concentration and color as its hero.
