Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah 2007
Region del Valle Central, ChileIt is hard to believe Concha Y Toro is messing with its so successful Casillero series by making a "Privada Reserva" and then making it an 85/15 cab/shiraz blend in the face of the North American backlash to Oz wines. The blend is a mix of savoury fruit from the Pirque and Peumo vineyards in Maipo. The wine comprises 85% cabernet sauvignon from Pirque in the Maipo Valley and 15% syrah from the hillsides of Peumo in the Rapel Valley. Look for bay leaf, rosemary and dark fruit to dominate the palate with a big spicy, warm finish showing some grippy tannin yet to shed.
