2006 Terrunyo Carmenere Peumo Vineyard Block 27
The red wine start with the saturated purple 2006 Carmenere Peumo
Vineyard Block 27. The nose offers up spice box, mineral, plum, black
cherry, and blueberry. This is followed by a round, mouth-filling plush
wine with ripe underlying tannin, complex, spicy flavors, excellent
density, and a long, fruit-filled finish. Give it 2-3 years and drink
it from 2012 to 2021.
Terrunyo is a premium label owned by
Concha y Toro. During my visit with Ignacio Recabarren, the brilliant
vigneron behind the Terrunyo Carmenere project, I was able to taste all
of the wine to date including the yet to be released 2007 Carmin de
Peumo. Jay Miller Wine Advocate # 182 Apr 2009
