Casillero Del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon

An accessible Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile's most famous winery — fruit-forward, structured, and with clear contours.

Concha y Toro has been rooted in Chile since 1883 and is one of the largest wineries in South America. The Casillero del Diablo — named after the wine cellar that founder Don Melchor allegedly spread rumors about as a devil's hideout to keep thieves away — comes from the Central Valley, where the continental climate with dry summers and cool nights creates optimal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the glass, it shows a bright dark ruby red with violet edges. On the nose, ripe blackcurrant, dark plum, and a clear hint of vanilla — the result of short wood aging. On the palate, velvety tannin, medium body, fresh fruit in the finish without excessive warmth.
