The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon 20 Barrels contains 10% Merlot in the blend. It was aged for 16 months in 100% new French oak and comes from the same vineyard as Concha y Toro’s flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, Don Melchor, arguably one of Chile’s top 5 wines. While the 20 Barrels Cabernet is excellent, it leans out in the slightly warm finish. Cono Sur produces a wide range of excellent values, both red and white. See the Value Charts for a list of recommended wines. Among the higher tier of their wines, two whites merit consumers’ attention.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802

Straightforward yet enticing berry, oak and tar aromas get it off to a good start. The palate runs extremely juicy and racy, as lively acidity pushes angular cherry, cassis, berry and plum flavors. Quite bright and jumpy for Chilean Cabernet, but also quite good. ——M.S.(11/15/2006)—— 88
