Concha y Toro 2007 Casillero del Diablo Reserve Syrah (Rapel Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Perfectly good for the price, with a dark, smoky outlook and masculine aromas of mocha, roasted berry and violet. Like you’d expect for New World Syrah, it’s intense but not aggressive, and the mix of plum, berry, cocoa and toast flavors give it amplitude and attitude. Well-made for a large-production wine (140,000 cases).

Concha y Toro 2005 Casillero del Diablo Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Valley)
- Best Buy
- $9
Here’s proof that Chile and Cabernet go together like birds of a feather. The wine is full of black cherry and cassis flavors, and the mouthfeel is exceedingly fresh and proper. And the vanilla and chocolate-covered espresso beans on the finish are a classy ending touch.

Concha y Toro 2006 Casillero del Diablo Reserve Shiraz (Central Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
As a whole this is a mixed bag of dark fruit, creamy oak and chocolate, which makes it a New World Shiraz in every way, shape and form. The nose is creamy and ripe, and so is the chunky, broad, fruit-rich palate. It’s a fruitball, no doubt, but a balanced one with proper acidity and tannins. Imported by Excelsior Wine & Spirits.

Concha y Toro 2007 Casillero del Diablo Reserve Chardonnay (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- $7
Mass Chardonnay from Chile doesn’t come much better or more consistent than this. It’s toasty on the nose, with candied, lightly creamy banana and citrus flavors. Very nice as a fresh young wine, with a touch of heat on the finish. Great for picnics and backyard summer parties.

Concha y Toro 2008 Casillero del Diablo Reserve Syrah (Rapel Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Intensely purple, with aromas of char, shoe polish, coffee, black fruits and herbs. Thick but balanced, with juicy, fresh-styled blackberry and dark plum flavors. Combines chocolate and herbal qualities on the finish. Zesty, driving, a little lemony and nice overall.

Concha y Toro 2010 Casillero del Diablo Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
More peachy and melony than sharp, with simple, lightly prickly aromas, honeyed peach and passion fruit flavors, and a round, soft finish. A solid, round quaffer that doesn’t sizzle but won’t disappoint.

Concha y Toro 2005 Casillero del Diablo Reserve Carmenère (Central Valley)
- Best Buy
- $9
A plump, round, mostly welcoming bouquet sets you up for full cherry, strawberry, plum and sucking candy flavors. Feels good across the palate and finishes sturdy, with a touch of overt vanilla oak. Like always, this represents everyday Carmenère in fine form.

- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
For a so-called value wine, there’s an awful lot of toast and oak on this baby. But that’s okay, because despite the wine’s almondy, sugary aromas and flavors, it has the body and acidity to handle it all. And along the way there are flavors of mango, orange and green banana as well as modest but present citrus zest. A big-production wine (270,000 cases) that satisfies.
