Concha Y Toro Gran Reserva Carmenere 2020

Photo by Is It Possible To See It All

This superb example of Chilean wine is a must. The grape is grown in the Cachapoal Valley in Chile. An affordable Gran Reserva at an average price of $21.46 CAD, it is rated as 4.0 by over 800 users on Vivino. This app is worthy of a download as it gives you valuable information on a wine by just taking a picture as it sits on the shelf of your favorite wine store.

Not light, not to bold. I’d say a very traditional wine. Leans to the smooth side, almost silky and is reasonably dry. There is definitely cherry and some oak. We see this as a fine complement to salmon or pasta, and would not be out of place with a nice ribeye steak. Best served at 15 degrees C, I would serve to anyone at any time with any meal.

I ran across this article on Fotopedia about Patagonia, an area in Southern South America that is shared by Argentina and Chile.  Spectacular views!!
