($11, Schwartz Olcott Imports): The name remains annoying and the label remains incomprehensible at its attempt to be cute, but this Carmenère continues to improve with each successive vintage and offers terrific value. A bit of spice and herbal notes complement some dark berry-like fruit flavors. Tannins are supple, but not soft, so they provide necessary structure. All in all, a great $11 bottle of wine. 86 Michael Apstein Jan 27, 2009
