Concha Y Toro
Not only does Concha y Toro have a long history, but its history has enabled it to become one of the largest, most successful wineries in all of Chile. Named the second most powerful wine brand in the world by the British consultancy Intangible Business, there’s no question that Concha y Toro has been successful.
Concha y Toro started off small, with Don Melchor de Santiago Concha y Toro planting the first vines in 1883 with Bordeaux grapevines at Pirque in the Maipo Valley. When Don Melchor died in 1892, his son, Juan Enrique Concha Subercaseaux took over as General Manager and created the company Concha y Toro. From there, the company took off, with exports starting in 1933. In 1963, they created Casillero del Diablo, a Cabernet Sauvignon aged for two years, and it became their best-selling premium wine.

Chardonnay Casillero del Diablo 2011
Snoothrank:
A very nice fruit forward style Chardonnay with a good acid balance. Nice extract and fairly deep in color. Fruit is mostly citrus but some pear as well. Slight vanilla is detected in the nose. A very enjoyable wine. My score --88 Read More

Concha Y Toro Merlot Casillero del Diablo 2010
Snoothrank:
This is decidedly herbal and smoky on the nose, with a lot of dried herb and grassy aromas accenting the cocoa- and leather-scented black currant and black berry fruit. This is surprisingly soft on entry with a smooth, glossy mouth feel supporting lovely spiced plum and blackberry fruit flavors. The tannins are ripe and polished, with a creamy e... Read More

Concha Y Toro has great price vs quality. the 2006 Don Melchor is a world class Cabernet. Not very tannic upfront but begins with a nice berry style and enough acidity to keep the whole bottle alive through the dinner. Read More
