Concha y Toro Terrunyo 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon
C&T has had several winning years
with this wine. Vintages 2006 and
2007 have also scored well. Here’s
what Wine Enthusiast says about
the 2005 vintage. ”This pedi-
greed 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.”
