The latest issue of ShopSmart magazine recommends three Chilean carmeneres, a varietal similar to merlot, that are $12 or less.
Fontera by Concha y Toro 2007 – approx. $5
Casillero del Diablo Reserve by Concha y Toro 2007 – approx. $10 (I’ve had this wine and it is pretty tasty)
Santa Rita Reserva 2007 – approx. $12
The magazine also recommends Terrunyo by Concha y Toro 2005 but it is approx. $28 a bottle.
