Concha y Toro 2003 Carmín de Peumo Carmenère (Peumo)
- $74
Setting a new high bar for Carmenère is this luxury version from Concha y Toro’s Cachapoal vineyard. And while it deserves to be drunk sooner than later, we recommend it for the best steak you grill this year. It’s a strapped, juicy wine with tons of coffee, chocolate and berry essence. It’s too hard or layered, so get at it soon for its up-front fruit and character.

Concha y Toro 2007 Terrunyo Vineyard Selection Block 34 Syrah (Peumo)
- Editors' Choice
- $38
Muscled up and dark, with robust blackberry, tar, spice and mocha aromas. The palate is big and dense but raring to run, with smashing black cherry, berry and black plum lushness. Turns more oaky on the finish, with coconut and mocha. Impressive for New World Syrah. Drink now through 2013.

Concha y Toro 2005 Carmín de Peumo Carmenère (Peumo)
- Online Exclusive
- $125
For serious Carmenère, Carmín is at the top of the list. It’s almost late-harvest in terms of richness and ripeness, with earth, leather, mineral, pepper, plum and berry on the nose. Dense and balanced, yet a little on the soft side, with meaty raspberry and plum flavors. Finishes dark, with coffee, toast and leather. A cuddly, chewy wine to drink now for all its…

Concha y Toro 2007 Terrunyo Vineyard Selection Block 27 Carmenère (Peumo)
- $38
Big, stout and solid, with a smoky, pure-fruit nose that’s very attractive. Lush and full in the mouth, with pure, deep, intoxicating flavors of blackberrry, black currant and Mediterranean black olive. Solid throughout and holds its form across the finish. Ripe, smooth and delicious. Drink now thru 2012.

Santa Carolina 2007 Herencia Carmenère (Peumo)
- $90
Dark as night, with mildly leafy, herbal, varietally appropriate aromas of olive, earth, tea and black fruits. The palate is big but nicely chiseled, with good acidity and tannic support for roasted berry, plum, fig and peppery flavors. A smooth, correct high-end Carmenère. Drink now through 2013.

Concha y Toro 2007 Carmín de Peumo Carmenère (Peumo)
- $149
About as dense, lush and ripe as you can get without teetering over the edge. Along the way there’s mint, tobacco, cedar and heavy raisin/plum fruit aromas. Big and broad across the tongue, with sweet boysenberry, cassis and chocolate flavors. This is to wine what Guinness Stout is to beer.

Concha y Toro 2006 Terrunyo Peumo Vineyard Block: 27 Carmenère (Peumo)
- $41
As in previous years, this wine delivers earthy, proprietary aromas and flavors on a structured frame. The palate has forward berry and plum flavors, while the feel is rich, only mildly tannic and 100% healthy. Never does it sag, and with adequate acidity it doesn’t lack for purpose or a finish line. Drinkable now into 2011.
