Concha y Toro Wines

The Concha y Toro winery is not only a well-known producer of quality Chilean wine, but the largest producer in Latin America. The winery’s origins date back to 1883 when Don Melchor Concha y Toro brought popular French grapevines from Bordeaux to plant in the commune of Pirque in Chile’s Maipo Valley. In 1997, Concha y Toro Chairman Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle teamed up with Baronness Philippine de Rothschild, the Chairman of Baron Philippe de Rothschild, creating the Viña Almaviva brand. The goal was to establish a wine in Chile that was equivalent to a Bordeaux Premier Grand Cru Classé. Among Concha y Toro’s multiple brands, the Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon, Gravas del Maipo Syrah and Viña Almaviva represent some of the winery’s best bottlings, while the Casillero del Diablo is noted for its value.

Concha y Toro 2006 Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon (Puente Alto)

Editors' Choice

Price $80

The price for one of Chile’s flagship wines keeps climbing, but fortunately so does the quality. Winemaker Enrique Tirado has crafted yet another pounding, saturated Cabernet. It’s wonderfully meshed yet potent and fierce. Boysenberry, cassis and kirsch flavors control the extracted palate, while the finish is warm, creamy and fun, sort of like a milkshake. At 14… — M.S.

Concha y Toro 2007 Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon (Puente Alto)

Online Exclusive

Price $95

Deep, a bit reduced on the nose, and full as can be, with blackberry, cassis and prune aromas. The palate is super rich and concentrated, and frankly a bit heady. Flavors of burnt brown sugar, toast, tobacco, pepper and baked berry fruits are delicious, and the finish is dense and long. Drinkable now but best in another two to four years. This marks the 20th… — M.S. (12/1/2010)

Concha y Toro 2008 Gravas del Maipo Syrah (Buin)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $150

Opaque in color, with a driving bouquet loaded with graphite, pastry and incredibly ripe black-fruit aromas. Feels rich, but with fine acidity creating superb balance. Tastes like a cascade of blackberry, cassis and chocolate, and then comes a finish of coconut, vanilla and texture. Drink now through 2014; contains 9% Cabernet Sauvignon. — M.S. (6/1/2012)

Concha y Toro 2006 Terrunyo Old Pirque Vineyard Block: Las Terrazas Cabernet Sauvignon (Pirque)

Editors' Choice

Price $41

Thick and rich, with hedonistic black-fruit aromas and all the accents of leather, tobacco and olive that come with a great Chilean Cabernet. In the mouth, everything comes together in a commendable knit, and it doesn’t sacrifice anything, be it berry fruit, herbal accents, tannic grip or acidity. Drink now through 2013. — M.S. (9/1/2009)

Concha y Toro 2005 Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon (Puente Alto)

Price $69

This comes across as the best Don Melchor that Concha y Toro has produced, and at $69 it should be. It’s very ripe, with oak sitting atop pure cassis and plum aromas. The palate is sweet, juicy and packed with dynamite blackberry and black plum flavors. Dark, chocolaty and long on the finish, with ripe tannins. Drink now or hold for five years. — M.S. (9/1/2008)

Concha y Toro 2008 Don Melchor Cabernet Sauvignon (Puente Alto)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $95

Opens with crusty, rock-solid aromas of mineral, shoe polish, herb and dense black fruit. This is a thick but smooth-bodied Cabernet with richness and sweet flavors of blackberry, cassis, fine herbes and brown sugar. Mild tannins, excellent structure and length define the finish. Drink now through 2016. — M.S. (6/1/2012)

Concha y Toro 2005 Terrunyo Block: Las Terrazas Cabernet Sauvignon (Pirque)

Price $37

A little rubbery and tough on first sniff, but this pedigreed Chilean Cab settles with airing and soon shows exciting, fully ripe raspberry, cassis and blackberry flavors. The mouthfeel is perfectly cushioned yet intense, and the finish is ripe, smooth and composed. Ready to go now but should hold steady for another three years. — M.S. (9/1/2008)

Concha y Toro 2003 Carmín de Peumo Carmenère (Peumo)

Price $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. — M.S. (11/15/2007)
