Darlene Myers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Talk about great value wine. This full bodied wine with it's deep red ruby color has aromas of blackberry, chocolate and toasted coffee on the nose. It's fresh and easy to drink, and goes great with grilled foods as we approach barbecue season.
Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The 2009 Concha Y Toro Serie Riberas Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium to full bodied, FRUITY to integrated wine, with intense aromas of dominating sandalwood, blackberry and black cherry on the nose and cedar and vanilla on the palate. It has a nice structure with nice acidity, refined tannins (decant for 1 hour to fully open up) and medium to long, chalky finish. Good to drink now, but should be at its best 2014 to 2018 and beyond. My impression: NICE to BEAUTIFUL, 90-91 pts - a recommended wine - another fine example and at great price from Concha Y Toro. Stock up! Tasted Jan/12.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
