Earthy and foresty on the nose, with balsam wood aromas that go well with hints of grilled meats and spice. Not overly fruity but still well balanced, with blackberry, olive and herbal flavors. On the finish, chocolate and coffee enter the picture. Easy to like and good for the money.

Cola, rubber, cool blackberry and spice make for a good set of aromas, while the palate is tight and drawing, with tannic bite to go with bawdy black fruit flavors that veer toward roasted. Finishes with length along with coffee and olive flavors. A little astringent but good wine.

Flamboyant, exotic aromas of oranges and mangoes emanate from the glass, but the tropical and citrus fruits are more muted in the mouth, finishing with earth and a spicy, clove-pepper note.

Vanilla, waxy peach and melon open up this lively, tropical Chardonnay. The palate shows flavors of apple, citrus and gooseberry, and the finish is solid and lengthy. Don’t expect miracles or a high level of elegance, and this wine will do the trick. It has good body and balance, and the flavors are solid.

Not sure what the difference is between this wine and Agustinos’ Gran Reserva and Reserva Privada because all are priced the same and rate about the same. Here we get banana, apple and fresh hay aromas along with a spunky palate of lemon, pineapple and green apple. Finishes with some honey and spice.

Smells candied and wayward, with a whiff of green to go with overt creamy qualities. Not as fruity and forward as most Chilean Malbecs, which is most likely attributable to its cool, southerly Bio Bio roots. Tastes a little green and stocky, but is still a good wine when weighed in total.

A nice, full-bodied Cabernet that shows a pinch of tire rubber along with olive, roast meat and big berry aromas. The palate is firm and tannic, with cassis, cherry and raspberry forming a puckery trio. The finish is slightly medicinal, with milk chocolate entering late in the game. Not overly complex but rich in terms of fruit content.

Red in color as if it were Merlot, with generic but entirely pleasant berry fruit aromas. The palate is round, creamy and comfortable, with oak-infused berry and plum flavors. Slightly resiny on the finish, with a peppery aftertaste. Solid Chilean Pinot Noir. 10,000 cases produced.
