Casa Silva, Colchagua Valley (Chile) Carménère Reserva 2008

($12, Vin Divino):  This stylish Carménère balances ripe black fruit flavors with an alluring savory quality characteristic of the varietal.  The combination gives it delightful complexity, as opposed to a bombastic fruit bomb.  Fine tannins and a lengthy finish just make it that much more remarkable.  This fabulous buy should be widely available because they produce 35,000 case of it. 89 Michael Apstein Nov 9, 2010
