2007 Palo Alto Reserve


2007 Palo Alto Reserve - Maule Valley, Chile $16. The Palo Alto label is another label from the Concha y Toro winery. Apparently Palo Alto only makes red wine, I'm not 100% percent about that but I think that is the case, this is the only wine that I know of that the winery makes, this is also a new winery. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and Syrah. The wine has a simple nose, and a nice dark colour to it. The best part is once the wine is in your mouth, the wine is silky smooth with a touch of acidity at the finish with flavor that hangs around for a good while. I like this wine, it definitely delivers. It can stand on it's own as sipper or it would complement dark meats nicely. A refreshing blend from Chile, that shows once again that you don't have to over spend on a good bottle of vino. Since the winery is owned by Concha y Toro this wine shouldn't be too hard to find but you'll probably have to look at a dedicated wine shop or a grocery store with a better selection. I got this wine at Bevmo.
