One of the Best Cabernets You’ll Ever Taste …
There are countless ways to praise quality wine. Points and verbose adjectives have become the norm, providing both perspective and sum to quickly offer insight to a wine’s quality. Though in our humble opinion .. the most coveted descriptor a producer can earn is to be called a “reference point”. A standard bearer by which all others are measured or compared.
Today’s offering comes from the most identifiable wine in all of Chile. Concha y Toro’s Don Melchor Cabernet was first introduced in 1987 and very quickly received recognition as one of the best examples in the world. Compounded over thirty years of consistent results and you have a legacy rivaling that of marquee producers from Bordeaux to Napa.
No stranger to great press – the 2019 Don Melchor is in lock step with it’s predecessors, earning an impressive 98 point review from James Suckling. Flirting with perfection...let’s compare equivalent reviews of top Cabernet from around the world and their respective retail prices:
All earned 98 points James Suckling:
- 2017 Chat Mouton, SRP $750
- 2019 Joseph Phelps Inisgnia, SRP $330
- Penfolds Quantum Bin 98, SRP $700
Great Cabernet is common these days … uncommon is finding a reference point producer in a release rivaling some of the best to ever be bottled, at a price this low. Even better, buy 3+ bottles to earn Free Shipping. |
