Lapostolle 2009 Cuvée Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

  1. $24
Enthusiast 100 2011 Score Chasers: South America 2011
Rich and dark smelling, with alluring pastry, earth, herb and soothing berry aromas. Deep, meaty and very ripe across the mouth, with cola, chocolate, roasted berry and fresh prune flavors. Toasty and lush as it fades away. Fun and modern; drink now through 2013.  — M.S.  (12/1/2011)

Montes 2006 Purple Angel Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

  1. $71
The nose of black olive, grilled beef and black fruit is made elegant via a floral perfume, and overall this big-boned Carmenère is beautifully balanced and loaded with cola, blackberry, licorice and chocolate. Dark as night on the finish, and ageable for a few years.  — M.S.  (9/1/2009)

Errazuriz 2008 Kai Carmenère (Aconcagua Valley)

  1. $120
Staunch and varietally correct from the opening gun; this is one big, obvious Carmenère with a ton of spice, extract, ripeness and quality. The palate is deep, powerful and rich, with tobacco, blackberry, fig, graham cracker and strong herbal influences. The finish is lush, long and spicy, with richness and a final dose of herbs. Drink now and over the next few years.  — M.S.  (7/1/2011)

Errazuriz 2006 Kai Carmenère (Aconcagua Valley)

  1. $80
The four Rs are covered here: The wine is robust, roasted, ripe and ready. Kai is a very dark and sultry style of Carmenère, with huge waves of blueberry and blackberry fruit darkened up by chocolate, coffee and mint. The palate is lush but well structured; it’s soft, pure and velvety, but also very natural.  — M.S.  (9/1/2009)

Concha y Toro 2003 Carmín de Peumo Carmenère (Peumo)

  1. $74
Setting a new high bar for Carmenère is this luxury version from Concha y Toro’s Cachapoal vineyard. And while it deserves to be drunk sooner than later, we recommend it for the best steak you grill this year. It’s a strapped, juicy wine with tons of coffee, chocolate and berry essence. It’s too hard or layered, so get at it soon for its up-front fruit and character.  — M.S.  (11/15/2007)

De Martino 2005 Single Vineyard Carmenère (Maipo Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $25
Everything about this select-level Carmenère is impressive. It’s colorful and wrapped in a cloak of classy oak. The palate is juicy and balanced to a tee, with dark berry flavors busting free. A little young oak emerges on the finish, but it vanishes in short order once you air things out. A wonderful red wine regardless of variety. 300 cases made.  — M.S.  (5/1/2007)

Apaltagua 2008 Grial Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

  1. $75
There’s high energy emitting from this jacked-up varietal. Fig, cocoa, moss, cola and blackened fruit aromas introduce a ripped palate of high-volume cherry, plum, berry, chocolate and hard spice flavors. Hard and aggressive before airing; 608 cases made; drink now through 2015.  — M.S.  (2/1/2012)

Concha y Toro 2005 Carmín de Peumo Carmenère (Peumo)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $125
For serious Carmenère, Carmín is at the top of the list. It’s almost late-harvest in terms of richness and ripeness, with earth, leather, mineral, pepper, plum and berry on the nose. Dense and balanced, yet a little on the soft side, with meaty raspberry and plum flavors. Finishes dark, with coffee, toast and leather. A cuddly, chewy wine to drink now for all its…  — M.S.  (11/15/2008)
