Carmenere grapes are sometimes blended into other wines, such as Medoc or Bordeaux wines. This is the first I've seen as a kosher varietal.
Although the wine itself was fine, it had a sharp, almost sour finish. Lots of air didn't help. A few days after opening and recorking the bottle, the wine was more palatable but still had an unpleasant finish. This holds out the possiblity that if cellared for a few years the wine could mature.
