Concha y Toro, Peumo (Rapel Valley, Chile) Carmenère “Marques de Casa Concha” 2009

($22):  This wine, like their Xplorador Carménère (also reviewed this week) represents another marvelous example of how Concha y Toro delivers value, even at a higher price.  Lush red- and black-fruit flavors intertwine seamlessly with savory elements.  Its class is evident by its silky texture, good density and lengthy finish.  Bright acidity keeps it fresh, making it an even more complete wine. 90 Michael Apstein May 17, 2011
