I’m back with more reviews! I should be focusing on reviews till the end of 2024. This is the first part of a 6-part series on Chilean Carménère. All wines are free samples and I have free reign to review them how I wish. Today’s wine comes from Viña San Esteban. Their 2021 In Situ Carmenère Reserva.
