Don Melchor, named after Concha Y Toro’s founder, is among Chile’s most-acclaimed wines. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits and espresso notes, a blend of 93% Cab Sauv and 7% Cab Franc, aged for 15 month in French oak (15% new). On the palate flavors of black cherry, plums and currants with smooth oak notes. Fine round tannins, long finish ending with fruit and slightly sweet oak notes. Nice. Tasting Sample!
