Opens with inviting green apple aromas before delivering citric, lemony flavors on a surprisingly soft frame that isn’t overloaded with scouring acidity. All this means the wine is ready to drink now; it has decent fruit with hints of lime and mineral. 1 Note

Aromas of fresh-squeezed orange juice and chewable children’s vitamins attest to the fact there’s no oak to be found. Along the way are soft citrus and melon flavors, and a chalky but thin finish. 1 Note

From a subsection of Curicó; sweet on the nose, with light vanilla. Heavy on the palate, with basic citrus and little else. Acceptable white wine in a field of thousands. 1 Note

Yellow Delicious apple and melon aromas start it off in a fruity direction, and the palate shows peach and pear flavors. With no oak, there’s no butter, toast or resin to speak of. There is, however, a sugary almost Riesling-esque quality to the wine. All in all, it’s unconventional but pretty good, with a nice bolt of acidity keeping it wide awake. Imported by T. Edward Wines. 1 Note

Apple juice aromas don’t hold it together for long, and the palate is spritzy and acidic. Apple cider and a touch of vinegar and citrus are the flavors. Not the type of Chardonnay we can recommend. 1 Note

From the full-bodied, full-color school comes this ripe, willing red. It’s heady and loaded with black cherry and chocolate flavors, while the succulent finish is bold, chewy and laden with fudge. Not intellectual but big in fruit and flavor. 1 Note

With fruit from coastal Leyda in the blend, this Curicó wine surprises with crisp, focused understatement. The mouth is fresh but basic, with juicy, perky apple and citrus flavors followed by a crisp, slightly pithy finish. Overachieves in the context of Echeverria’s past Sauvignon Blancs. 1 Note

Solid and fresh, with full, generally clean berry aromas that are backed up by praiseworthy plum and berry flavors. It’s a juicy wine with good tannic structure, and the finish is dry, toasty and a little fiery. Nice for a moderately oaked, medium-bodied red. 1 Note

Seems as though Echeverria’s idea of reserve Sauvignon is to let the grapes stay on the vines for too long. The wine lacks expression and a pulse. It’s borderline DOA, in fact; the regular 2006 Sauvignon Blanc is livelier. 1 Note
