2017 Reserve Carménère

Bootjack Ranch Library Release

Winemaker Notes: This has been a fun wine to watch develop over the years. We are nearly out of the 2017 vintage, and it continues to improve with age. Raspberry and coffee flavors prelude an expansive palate. A unique varietal to share with friends and family this season!

Carménère is a long-lost Bordeaux grape that is rarely planted in California. It is notoriously tough to ripen and we often use it in blending, but in special years we release it as a standalone wine. This is only our third ever release, and with a blend of 97% Carménère and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon the grape’s personality shines through. It’s famed for spicy green flavors and aromatics: think bell pepper, oregano or serrano chili!
