It’s a pretty flexible wine and will work with most foods you would expect to pair well with red wines: beef, lamb, hearty soups & stews, etc. It also can go well with tomato-based pasta dishes.

I just bought a bottle of Camenere and have never had it before. Do you have any food pairings to suggest? Thanks

Interestingly, I routinely find the Terra Andina for $10 at the same places I find Casillero del Diablo for that price. Love them both, but you are correct — Casillero del Diablo’s Carmenere is a remarkable value! I’d personally rank it a bit higher the Terra Andina’s.

I’ve tasted the Santa Carolina and the Casillero del Diablo and did not go back to try any others. I have put Carmenere on my list of wines to re-visit this year.
This post was very helpful, thanks.

Thanks for the nice comments! The Altos Carm/Carignan is in fact awesome with a meaty bolognese pasta!
