As a public service,
I will try to pass on the name, when I find a truly good value in wine. There is good wine and inexpensve wine. Rarely the twain shall meet. BUT, I have found another. I have nearly always been pleasantly surprised by Chilean Cabernet, and this is a real winner, if you like a Cabernet/Merlot blend, which I do, and so does the wine critic below...
The best-selling wines from Chile are the Frontera varietal wines from Concha y Toro available in 750ml, 1.5L and 187mL sizes. The combination of quality and value is unmatched by any wine sold in the U.S. (I agree)
CABERNET SAUVIGNON / MERLOT
Region:
Central Valley, Chile
Grape Variety:
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot
Production Technique:
Traditional fermentation of the grapes on the skins before blending is then followed by four months of aging in oak barrels before bottling.
Description:
Color: Brilliant ruby-red.Bouquet: Fruity, chocolate, red plums and vanilla. (EXCELLENT bouquet)Taste: Soft tannins, medium body, harmonic and smooth finish.Alcohol Content: 13%Total Acidity: 5.01g/l
Ruby-like, bright in color. Fruit forward with red plum and varietal characteristics. Medium dry, medium body and harmonious with a good finish This wine marries two of the classic Bordeaux grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon offers character, complexity and longevity, while Merlot adds softer tannins and elegance. Patterned after the same classic blend that distinguishes many fine chateaux of Bordeaux, this superb red wine complements the heartiest foods, especially red meats, barbeque, savory pasta dishes, and pizza.Click here for a suggested food match and recipe.
Bottom line, (literally), like Luna de luna, Red bottle, but better price.... Enjoy in moderation, or, whatever....
