Mild toast and banana aromas are simple, subtle and quiet. The palate has a citrusy zest to it along with simple flavors of kiwi, melon and green grapes. Finishes wet and easy; a good wine but nothing to go nuts over.

Flowery and herbal, with standard redberry aromas. Healthy and juicy, with herbal blueberry, blackberry and chocolate flavors. Finishes with a final dose of herbal character, earth and good layering and feel.

Pithy and citrusy on the nose, but ultimately it’s rather neutral. The palate is citric and lean, with orange, lemon and sour apple flavors. Zesty to the point of tartness, with a citrusy, juicy finish. A pointed SB with zing.

Fleshy, melony and tropical smelling, with a bit of warm radiator dust. The palate is plump but maintains a level of freshness, zest and clarity. Tastes citrusy up front and then shows a softer, more melony side. Quite good for under $10.

Gets better the longer it’s open, but starts with perfumed aromas of bright berry fruit and mineral. The palate is true and balanced, with spicy red-berry flavors and a hint of fine herbal essence. Dry and composed, but always an easygoing, fruity, sturdy wine that should age well through 2012–2014.

A slight amount of eucalyptus on the nose gives this wine an herbal element to go with cassis and blackberry. The palate is tightly wound and brawny, with cassis, olive and herbal flavors. Meaty and savory late, with depth, texture and vitality.

Light, lucid and exactly what we’re looking for from Chile. This organic wine has pure varietal aromas of nettles, tarragon and citrus, which are followed by flavors of green fruits, scallion and pepper. It’s super zesty and spritzy, with a cleansing finish. About as true as they come in this price range.

Inky and tight smelling, with rubbery black-fruit aromas. The palate is full, tannic and a little choppy, but the flavors of olive, blackberry, black cherry and herbs are good. Finishes rustic and a touch salty, with good bounce and verve.

A glassy, crisp style of SB from Bío Bío in Chile’s south. The nose is pungent and slick, while the palate has a smooth, tangy set of green fruit flavors like lime and apple. Reserved on the finish, with chiseled acids and fresh simplicity.

As blends go, this is a winner. The nose is spicy and wild, with blackberry, cola, fine leather and earthy qualities. Lush and concentrated in the mouth, with meaty, herbal flavors of cola and blackberry. Toast and pepper notes lend darkness to the finish, and overall this is a grand, ripe thoroughbred made from six grapes including Syrah, Cabernet and Carmenère. Drink now through 2013.
