Weinert Carrascal Red 2015

Raisiny black-fruit aromas are at the core of the nose and backed by foresty notes, tobacco and cheesy leather scents normally associated with Brettanomyces. The palate on this nonvintage blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is lively and grabby, not flat or syrupy. Baked plum, cassis and blackberry flavors finish with notes of fig, chocolate and oak spice. This saw 36 months in barrel, so oak is a key ingredient from head to toe.
