Rough and sulfuric at first, and then quite reedy. Once you get to the palate the flavors struggle to present themselves; there’s a mix of carob, vanilla and herbal berry fruit. Candied finish.

Welcome to the movies, and enjoy your buttered popcorn! Or in this case, enjoy your Aconcagua Chardonnay, which has been doused in a ton of buttery oak but still manages to retain kick courtesy of solid core acidity. Under all the oak look for sweet melon and pear flavors, and then a hint of peanut brittle.

A solid, somewhat generic Cab with sweet cassis and raspberry aromas as a greeting. The palate is a little candied but it rolls out tasty, dense red-fruit flavors. It doesn’t sport much Cabernet typicity but it delivers ripe flavors and a smooth ride.

This blend of Cab, Carmenère and Syrah is a touch leafy and earthy, with raspberry and brambly blackberry on the palate. It’s fairly fresh in terms of mouthfeel, with a bit of resiny oak lingering on the finish. Fairly bright and polished with some herbal character throughout.

A bit minty and herbal, with plenty of oak along with nondescript red fruit. Chunky and simple, with overt wood notes that come across as resiny. Imported by Joseph Victori Wines.

More than decent; this is good SB with no bells and whistles but lots of straight-ahead competence. The nose is dusty and plump, while the palate has roundness, weight and likable citrus, green melon and other common, fresh flavors. Sometimes the basics are more than enough; this is a casein point.

Slightly candied raspberry and cherry aromas don’t last for long as the palate goes chunky, herbal and mulchy, with heavy, borderline green flavors. Olive, green herbs and berries leave a mild, grabby finish.
