Casillero Del Diablo Reserva Privada Cabernet Sauvignon 75 cl

This is the Cabernet Sauvignon you open when you want bold fruit, real structure, and a little drama in the glass, without needing a dictionary to enjoy it.

Reserva Privada is where Casillero Del Diablo leans into a more intense, layered style. You get ripe black fruit right away, then those savoury, woody notes that make Cabernet so satisfying with food, or just on its own when you’re in a red-wine mood.

• Appearance: Deep ruby with a darker core, slow legs that hint at a richer style.
• Nose: Blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry, followed by cedar, toasted oak, cocoa, and a touch of dried herbs.
• Taste: Dark fruit and cassis lead, then mocha, vanilla, and spice come in. Dry, with firm (not harsh) tannins and enough acidity to keep it lively.
• Body: Full-bodied.
• Finish: Long and savoury, with lingering black fruit, cocoa, and a gentle smoky oak note.

Why it deserves shelf space, it’s reliable but not boring. It hits the classic Cabernet notes people crave, but the added depth in this tier means you keep noticing new little details as the glass goes down. If you’re building a home wine lineup, this is one of those Chilean red wines that’s easy to reach for when you want something confident and food-friendly.

Pour it with steak, burgers, roast chicken, or anything with a bit of char, spice, or a rich sauce. It also plays surprisingly well with hard cheeses and dark chocolate if you’re feeling snacky.

If you’re new to Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a great “ohhh, I get it” bottle. If you already love Cab, it’s the kind of dependable go-to that still feels like a treat.

Fun Fact: “Casillero del Diablo” means “Cellar of the Devil”, the legend says the winery spread rumours of the devil haunting the cellar to stop people stealing their best bottles.
