I have these wines on my enomatic this weekend and will take preorders for next wednesday delivery.
Duo Cabernet Sauvignon/ Merlot blend 2004
Bold, smooth and enticing, this red wine from the famed Maipo Valley is a rewarding accompaniment to any meal or occasion. Together with their winemaker Rafael Tirado, father and son Agustin Huneeus formed partnerships with two trusted growers in the Maipo Valley to use the latest viticultural practices to provide the highest quality Merlot and Cabernet for duo’s red blend.
The Wine Enthusiast - This is a new entry from Chile, which blends three-quarters Cab with Merlot to fine results. There’s a veneer of toasty oak on the solid nose, which features black cherry at the base. The fruit is bright and berry-driven, while chocolate and refreshing acids work the finish. A step up from the so-called “value blend.” Score: 88
Usual price 17.89, deal 9.99 a bottle, 8.99 on ful case.
Duo Sauvignon Blanc 2005
Pale to medium straw in color, this is one very good glass of white wine, with its rich, musky pinecone, grapefruit and gooseberry flavors and aromas. It has the kind of zippy acidity that one expects from Sauvignon, being medium to medium full bodied and fairly long on the finish. A solid match for the usual fish and fowl suspects, including chicken and seafood prepared in any number of ways, this is also a great back deck summer sipper.
Wine Spectator – Plump, with grapefruit, lemon and chive flavors followed by a flinty note on the finish. 87 pts
Usual price 17.89, deal 9.99 a bottle, 8.99 on ful case.
