Quite green and on the verge of deserving the dreaded weedy designation, this Cab fails to show much ripe fruit character even if the mouthfeel is decent. It’s like a wet-vintage cru bourgeois Bordeaux. 1 Note

This is one of Portugal’s big brands. Soft, easy and juicy, this has just a touch of dryness and great, fresh aftertaste. 1 Note

Very good price for a Cab of this quality. It’s dry and full-bodied, with ripe, attractive flavors of blackberry jam, cherries, minty chocolate and smoky oak. 1 Note

Fairly big and full-bodied, but not overoaked or overripe, so you get true plum and red-berry flavors, some of Carmenère’s herbal side, and a solid finish that offers good spice flavors and proper tannins. Sometimes simple is better, and this wine’s no-nonsense approach is what works. 1 Note

An earthy, smoked meat and plum nose leads into luscious berry and pepper flavors in this affordable Shiraz. Balanced acidity and fruit offer freshness and zest with dimension. The mouthfeel is full and pleasing. Pair with smoked meat or grilled spicy chicken. 1 Note

A nice, firm Merlot, very dry and tannic, with herb-infused cherry and berry flavors and some sharpness in the finish. Shows quite a bit of elegance and finesse for this everyday price. 1 Note

Fairly chunky and full-bodied, with a definite Maipo Valley streak of herbs and olives running alongside basic berry and cassis fruit. There’s little to get thrilled or disappointed over; it’s good but standard Cabernet with Chile’s patented tobacco, olive and herbal accents. 1 Note

Blason’s well-priced Sauvignon is streamlined and lean in the mouth but very pleasantly aromatic on the nose. You’ll get shadings of stone fruit, kiwi and grapefruit and enough citrus zest on the close to cleanse the palate. 1 Note

A sharp, angular number with aromas of pine, vinegar, mocha and leather. The feel is citric and lean, with red-fruit and orange-peel flavors. In the end, it’s more thin and sharp than balanced, with a tannic, narrow mouthfeel. 1 Note

Organic and value priced, this is an attractive and easy-to-drink Merlot-Grenache blend. Cassis and black berry conquer the palate, with traces of bell pepper, juniper and cedary spice in the background. 1 Note
