"Beautiful and lively ruby red colour with brilliant hues. The expression of cassis in this wine perfectly represents the Valle Central and its richness in fruit such as cherries and plums. The barrel ageing length thanks to the toast and coffee notes. Initially it shows its structure due to the strong tannins that ends elegant and juicy. The fruit flavours are confirmed by the long and elegant after taste which is balanced in the barreling process." Winemaker notes

Aged in French and American oak barrels. Central Valley, Chile. Alluvial Soil.

"Dark and deep purple. Luscious fruit flavors. Dark plums and blackcurrant, black chocolate with hints of coffee and toasted oak barrels. Notes of dark plums and spice, generously framed by toasty American oak with a soft and well structured mouth ling texture." Winemaker notes

This variety disappeared from its place of origin in M??doc, north of Bordeaux, France following the phylloxera outbreak in the 19th century. It reappeared in Chile at the end of the 20th Century. In Casillero del Diablo Carmenere is smooth and delicate with intense color, smooth, round tannins, and attractive aromas of black currant and chocolate. Ideal with aged cheese.

"Pale greenish yellow with golden and bright hints. Fresh, shows the fruity character from the beginning. Pineapple and peach together with small touches of hazelnut given by the French oak barrels. Wine with good structure, an excellent balance, fresh and lively acidity. Medium bodied with a long and dry end palate. At the end you find green pear and delicate hints of white peach complemented with toast impression. Perfect to enjoy with delicate fish such as grilled sea bass, sole or turbot, garnished with capers or herbs creamy sauces" Winemaker notes

#1 On The Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines Of 2024!

96 Points Wine Spectator
From its inaugural vintage in 1987, Viña Don Melchor aspired to demonstrate that Chilean terroir can produce world-class wines. Maintaining that credo, several years ago it became a stand-alone brand, separate from its parent company, Concha y Toro. The move signaled a shift to distinguish the flagship from Concha y Toro’s primarily large-volume and lower-priced labels. Now in its 35th vintage, the exemplary Viña Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon Puente Alto Vineyard has undoubtedly succeeded in its endeavor as a reference for excellence, both in Chile and worldwide, and its 2021 version earns Wine Spectator’s 2024 Wine of the Year honors.

97 Points Vinous
The 2021 Don Melchor is dark garnet red in the glass. The restrained nose offers pure fruity notes such as blackcurrant with hints of leaves and black tea, refined woody aromas, and gentle touches of plum and red bell pepper. In the mouth, it's intense with mild juiciness and rounded tannins. The taut palate gradually grows more profound as it develops cedar flavors at the back of the throat before the long, rewarding finish. A wine that is more suggestive than explicit as it slowly envelops you in its different layers. The added freshness brings out the clarity of the fruity flavors.

MSRP is $175 a bottle.

Cloudy mid-orange hue. Stones, apricots and a touch of oranges. Nicely tart and chewy on the medium- to full-bodied palate with a tight, zesty finish. A well-made sauvignon blanc that has undergone skin contact. Drink now. Sauvignon Blanc
