La Tour Carnet

2012 Haut Medoc Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc

Chateau La Tour Carnet from the Haut Medoc region is a remarkable red blend that showcases the elegance of its varietals, including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. This wine presents a deep ruby hue, hinting at its structured profile. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied experience with a rich tapestry of flavors, combining notes of dark fruits such as blackcurrant and plum, intermingled with subtle hints of cedar and tobacco. The acidity is bright, giving the wine a lively character, while the well-integrated tannins provide a firm backbone, ensuring it can age gracefully over time. Its dryness accentuates its fruit intensity, making it a delightful choice for pairing with roasted meats or hearty dishes, and it reflects the distinct terroir of the Haut Medoc, celebrated for producing exceptional wines.
