Casa Silva 1999 Altura Red (Colchagua Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $90

Casa Silva has entered the Super Chilean sweepstakes with this Cabernet/Merlot/Carmenère blend—and the winery scores some early points. From a fine vintage, this wine is minty, chocolaty and full of red raspberry fruit. Some airing reveals graham cracker, caramel andhidden fruit. It’s definitely a big-time, well-made wine that reflects serious effort. And it’s… — M.S. (3/1/2002)

Casa Silva 2007 Altura Red (Colchagua Valley)

Price $76

For a whiff, feel and taste of real Chile, this Carmenère-led blend is the ticket. The nose is prickly and intense, with aromas of juniper, leather and spicy black fruit. It’s acidic and lively, with firm but smooth tannins and huge flavors of cassis, plum, green herbs, olive and chocolate. On the finish, it delivers structure and length, but also a final wave of… — M.S. (6/1/2013)

Casa Silva 1999 Quinta Generacion Red (Colchagua Valley)

Price $20

A sturdy, round and pretty wine, with just a touch of grace, too. It’s 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Carmenère, and the two seem happily married. Chocolate and raspberry aromas draw you in, and once in you’ll find a soft mouthfeel and deep, true red-wine flavors. It’s hearty and stylish enough to earn its “gran reserva” designation. — M.S.

Casa Silva 2000 Reserve Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

Price $15

It’s simply immense—like blackberry or plum pie. Dig in and there is grip, tannins and acids, the signs of a real wine. Very pure Carmenère flavors are on display here: earthiness and smoked meat along with pulsating fruit. Big and burly for sure, but not clumsy. — M.S. (3/1/2002)

points

Casa Silva 2003 Los Lingues Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)

Price $17

Fleshy and full-bodied, with milk chocolate, raisin, cassis, char and leather all making for a serious bouquet. Olive, prune, blackberry and more coat the powerful, whole palate. Shows a lot of depth and color. An individual wine with character. Imported by Vin Divino. — M.S. (5/1/2006)

points

Casa Silva 2009 Cool Coast Sauvignon Blanc (Colchagua Valley)

Price $23

Minerally and pure, with coastal-influenced nettle, green apple and passion fruit aromas. This is a very good, snappy wine with pure citrus, minerality, lime and grapefruit flavors. And that’s also how it finishes. As the field of coastal Chilean SBs grow, Cool Coast from Casa Silva is one to keep an eye on. — M.S. (12/31/2010)

Casa Silva 2008 Los Lingues Gran Reserva Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)

Price $22

Stocky, wild and needing to breathe, this is one foxy, jumpy wine with olive, herbal and animal aromas. It’s requisitely big and jammy, with mocha and maple flavors accenting dark, driving berry fruit. Pours on the chocolate, oak and power as it unrolls. — M.S. (2/1/2012)

points

Casa Silva 2009 Gran Reserva Lolol Syrah (Colchagua Valley)

Price $22

This is a touch foxy and feral on the nose, but overall it’s an attractive, aggressive wine, with sweaty leather and animal leanings but also a lot of solid fruit and power. It feels round, with a herbal flavor and a cookie note, and a long, juicy and toasty finish. — M.S. (9/1/2012)
