From Casablanca Valley, Chile, crafted by Rothschild winemaking, pale lemon with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits. On the palate green melon, citrus and apple flavors with tangy acidity. Medium finish ending with a mineral citrus character. Ok value. Tasting Sample!

Star bright pale straw in color. Nose of citrus rind and stone, confirmed on the medium light palate adding soft guava with medium plus acidity. Finish is average for the variety (medium short). A slightly brighter example of Chilean SB from the first family of Bordeaux. Naturally food-friendly, but with enough bright fruit to make a refreshing sipper. But food is its real friend. Serve with opening salads, white flesh fish, or rich poultry casseroles (which is what I’m pairing with). Drink by 2021.

Mild leather nose. Firm fruit tannins flavor with a touch of spice. Tannins dominate the finish with notes of dark fruit. Tag: firm & inexpensive.

Extremely thin cab that is exploding with sweet, ripe strawberries and raspberries. A little too acidic for my tastes, but this would work well with a robust and earthy salad. Some notes of black currant and green bell pepper happens to work its way in as well.

Not much there. It was a recommendation from a friend but I'm not impressed. Not a lot of fruit on the palette. Chalky and empty. I'd save the $11.00.

Nice Chilean Cab, very smooth and lots of aromatics.. Easy drinking and fruity.

A nice everyday choice. Dry, hint of pepper, nice tannins.
