The 2009 Premium Carmenere CA1 Andes was sourced entirely from the Los Lingues estate. It spent 10 months in new French and American oak barriques. Notions of allspice, smoke, game, meat, and herbs give the nose an almost Syrah-like character. Structured on the palate and in need of at least 2-3 years of additional cellaring, this medium-bodied offering is impeccably balanced and lengthy but it will require some patience by those who buy it. Terra Noble is a family-owned bodega founded in 1992. It owns four farms in four different valleys as well managing a number of long-term grape contracts.Importer: Winebow, Inc, New York, NY; www.winebow.com
