If I Could Buy Only One – November 2nd Vintages Release

We asked our writers, “If you could buy only one wine from the November 2nd release, which one would it be and why?”

Morandé Vitis Única Carmenère 2021, Maipo Valley, Chile
$18.95, Majestic Wine Cellars 
Sara d’Amato – If, like me, you favour reds with a more ethereal character, this impeccably balanced and distinctive carmenère provides exceptional value without the hefty price tag. Juicy and well-poised, the palate reveals a delicate interplay of salty and savory notes—full-bodied yet remarkably light, with a refined sense of restraint. With a gentle oak treatment and fine, chalky tannins, this stylish red should prove versatile with a wide range of dishes and would be especially at home on a festive table.
