Montes Carmenere Purple Angel
$134.99
One of Chile's top wines, and certainly, one of the best examples of Carménère on the market. (Some might even say it IS the best.) Carménère is an amazing grape that absolutely thrives in Chile. Originally from France but almost forgotten on its home turf, Carménère has been reinvented in Chile. This big boastful red starts out with aromas of sage, blueberry, and blackberry and toasty oak. According to Robert Parker, it borders on opulent. A full-throttle red, layered with succulent flavours, and a long, pure finish. A Purple Angel indeed!

"Tequila Herradura (officially Grupo Industrial Herradura) is a tequila distiller located in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico. It was formally founded in 1870 by Félix López and the business remained in the family for over 125 years. Today it is owned by US beverage maker Brown-Forman, but the tequila is still made in the same place and facilities under a Mexican subsidiary. Tequila products sold under the Herradura name are still 100% agave, made in the same traditional ways as those of the last century. The company makes other tequila products such as El Jimador," according to Wikipedia.
