The Steamy Reininger 2007 Carmenere
Before we get too carried away and reveal the rest of the tantalizing and mysterious tale of Carmenere, we need to share the most important details with you. As fantastic as the history of Carmenere is, and let’s be honest, it reads more like a novel than a true story, it’s even better when read while enjoying a glass of the Reininger 2007 Carmenere, from Seven Hills Vineyard in Walla Walla. We’ve always found that the best way to study a wine is to taste it. Something about having the wine in hand, admiring the deep color, tasting the flavors and smelling the aromas really allows the story to make a lasting impression. While the history of Carmenere will appear soon, today the focus is on the seductive Reininger ’07 Carmenere.
The Reininger 2007 Carmenere is comprised of 100% Carmenere grapes from the Seven Hills Vineyard, in the Walla Walla Valley. It was aged in French oak, and bottled in 2009. Our national sales manager, Justin Vajgert provided the following tasting note:
“Like a steamy Danielle Steele novel, our Carmenere is bound to make your heart race. Aromas of forbidden stewed fruits, fresh, decadent strawberries, and spicy black pepper pique your interest as you then delve deeper into the big, ripe, blackberry, rich black cherry, and peppercorn on your tongue. Swoon over the incredibly smooth mouthfeel as the flavors coat your tongue and coax you into ecstasy.”
Our Reininger 2007 Seven Hills Carmenere is every bit as exciting as the history of the Carmenere grape itself. This Carmenere is to die for, so order a bottle here to savor while you learn all about the history, flavors, and facts of Carmenere.
