($8, Excelsior):  Concha y Toro is a brilliant Chilean producer because they deliver value and quality at every price point, even $8, as in the case of this wine.  Plump, it delivers plenty of plum-like ripe fruit, but subtle leafy notes, common to Carménère, prevent it from being a “fruit bomb.”  It’s supple enough to sip before dinner, but you won’t be unhappy with it at the table. 87 Michael Apstein May 17, 2011
