Casillero del Diablo Shiraz 
Chile Its origin is still a matter of controversy. Some talk about Persia, others move the cradle to Syracuse in Italy, while others assure the birthplace is the Rhône Valley, France. It produces tannic and well-structured wines of relatively low acidity and with very good cellaring capabilities; they age gracefully and maintain their quality throughout. Its aromas and flavors carry blackberry, chocolate, smoke, spices and some pepper notes. | Appellation | Central Valley. |
