Primus 2010 Carmenere (about $18)






About the Wine:  Veramonte is a South American maker known for their big, bold reds.  They use Carmenere in their blends to add body and flavor and they make this Carmenere for those wanting the undiluted experience.

About THIS Wine:  The center is opaque with a purple rim.  Seasoned steak pretty much defines the nose and palate.  The wine tastes like liquefied T-bone crusted with cooking spices.  The finish is dry and spicy.

Drinking This Wine:  Drink it with steak, of course.

Overall Impression:  This wine is very intense and definitely not for everyone.  For those with a palate suited to it this Carmenere is good for the price.
