Wine Review: Merlot, Casillero Del Diablo

img_0518

Dinner at Cacique is always a delight.

Wine from the Devil’s Locker puts it over the top.

I don’t know why the waiter decided to tell me about the all the foo-foo wines first. I mean, I was trying to look grown up. I wasn’t even wearing a Hello Kitty tee shirt or anything.

He looked surprised when I said, “I’ll take the Merlot from the Devil’s Locker, please.”

Clearly, he knows not with whom he fucketh.

Anyway, I chose the Merlot because it was the only one on the wine list that I hadn’t already tried.

Fair warning, pull up your grown-up pants before indulging in this one. Made from Merlot grapes grown in the Central-Valley of Chile, it’s rich, deep, and clearly not from a box. That one glass made me walk a little sideways.

Absolutely excellent and velvety smooth when paired with a bold flavored dish such as steak fajitas.

Vanilla, oak, smoke, and chocolate. Oh yeah, and grapes. A wickedly attractive concoction full of bad-assery and sophistication.

You’re gonna want some.

Oh yes, you will indeed.
