Casaterra 2003 Chardonnay (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  1. $8
A perfectly nice South American Chard, one with pineapple, creamy pear and apple on the nose. More apple and pear comes on strong in the mouth, followed by a sizable, smooth finish. Nothing in this wine is too overdone or thrilling, but the total package is likable.  — M.S.  (7/1/2004)

Casaterra 2002 Merlot (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $7
Berry jam and light leather up front, followed by medium-grade plum and cherry flavors. Vanilla and chocolate notes add thickness to the finish. The balance is not in question; standard acidity and tannins create a good mouthfeel.  — M.S.  (2/1/2004)

Casaterra 2002 Malbec (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  1. $8
Run-of-the-mill berry and earth on the nose, followed by adequate blackberry and cherry flavors. A leathery mouthfeel created by stiff tannins pushes life into the finish. Doesn’t stand up to intense airing and swirling.  — M.S.  (10/1/2004)

Casaterra 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

  1. $7
Not on a par with the brand’s more impressive Chardonnay; this Cabernet is aggressive and unbalanced. The palate is sweet.  — M.S.  (7/1/2004)
