Another fantastic review of CDD Carmenere

In the June-July issue of Gourmet Traveller Wine the 2007 Casillero del Diablo Carmenere was reviewed under Best Buy Imports $25 and under:

"I tasted the full range of wines from this producer and was impressed by the value they offered. Concha y Toro's Carmenere, made from Chile's signature grape variety, was clearly best. This is a supremely elegant red with raspberry/blueberry fruit flavours supported by spicy oak and fine tannins. It oozes class.... a big jump above basic Chilean wine at a comparatively budget price"

We know the wine is good, but any press that can get more people onto a good thing is great.

By the way, looks like we'll be running out of the 2007 CDD Carmenere before the 2008 arrives in late August, so if you love the wine it might be worthwhile stocking up with a bottle or two to keep you going.
