Casillero del Diablo (Chile, 2006)

Category: Cabernet Sauvignon — Mike @ 5:45 pm

	Casillero del Diablo Concha Y Toro is a Cabernet from Chile. This is a companion reivew to the 2007 vintage that we also did. We recommend avoiding the 2007 for 1 or two more years. We had this with steak from the charcoal grill and it was a great pairing.
	$9 from Fresh & Easy

Fruit forward strawberry aromas. Earth and vanilla smells. At the right temperature, this wine is smooth and had velvety mouth feel that is even better after decanting. Great mix of fruit and earth. Slight peach taste at the end with flavors of apples on the tip of the tongue. She is spunky yet refined and able to strike the perfect balance between adolescent charm and lady like maturity. She is an example that hopefully her younger sister will follow.
