[Trap]: Do not mistakenly believe that Carmenere is most widely grown in Bordeaux, France. While it originated in France, remember that Chile is now its premier producer. [Tip]: In the exam, if you see 'Full-bodied/Black fruit' combined with 'Argentina/Mendoza', look for Malbec. If you see 'Chile/Herbaceous notes/Bell pepper', choose Carmenere.
