Casillero del Diablo Merlot

Saturday's tasting was on two wines.  Both well received by customers.  

The Beach House is a white blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillion.  I reviewed this on April 18th. Once again, customers enjoyed this wine and Saturday I sold out. 

Casillero del Diablo Merlot is from the Rapel Valley, Chile and another of the many wines from Concha y Toro.  With a lush blackberry aroma, the flavors are blackberry, spice and smoke.  The tannins are mild and this is nicely balanced.  Customers enjoyed this wine.  Perfect for summer grilling. 

Winemaker's Notes: Colour: Bright dark and deep purple.  Taste profile:  A smooth Merlot that perfectly combines plum and herbaceous flavours with smoky cedar wood aromas.  A fruity wine with a full, rich texture that makes a perfect match with pasta, risotto and lightly spiced red meat dishes.
