I’m delighted to report that the Hendo Wine Rating (HWR) has gone global! To date only Aussie wines have had the honour of a HWR, not because of any xenovinophobia (TM) on my part, but simply due to the abundance of great wine in Australia.
With my relocation, however, I now have countless European wines on my doorstep.
But I’m going to skip Europe and head first to South America.
Casillero del Diablo is a cab sav from Chile which we enjoyed recently with friends. It originates from the Central Valley appelation and apparently contains hints of mocha and dark chocolate, though I’m not sure how to distinguish between them.
By now, though, I can distinguish between rubbish and good wine, and fortunately this falls into the latter category.
HWR: 4/5
