2017 Casillero del Diablo Blended Red
#32-19


The secondary label for Concha y Toro, Casillero del Diablo, has been a consistent winner in the value priced red wine segment, and their new Blended Red is another good choice.  The wine is 70% Syrah and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and is lush and juicy, and easy to drink.

The nose is persuasive with jammy notes of wild berry.  The taste is wild berry, predominately blackberry, with a little plum and a trace of cherry.  It has juicy fruit with a little dryness in the finish,
and is quite enjoyable.  The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm's score is 88.

We sampled this easy drinking red wine from Chile with a fat grilled pork loin chop, with a fresh squash casserole, and it was most pleasing.

score: 88
price: $9 - $12
