Casillero Del Diablo, Central Valley (Chile) Carmenere 2016

Jan 16, 2018

By Rich Cook

 A dependable expression of the peppery side of Carmenere, this vintage delivers once again, with a little softer pepper presentation, letting the blackberry and chocolate notes come forward.  There’s a pleasant mint character on the nose and in the mouth that add interest.  Beef all the way here — you can find this easily and fire up the Instant Pot for a quick gourmet meal.
