Powerful, pure aromas of cherry, cassis and leather stay focused as the wine unwinds. The wine’s body, tannins and acids are in harmony, supporting intense flavors of cherry, berry, roasted meat and chocolate. Chewy on the finish, with sweet pastry accents. Drink now–2015.

Oveja Negra 2008 Single Vineyard Carignan (Maule Valley)
- $18
Meaty and staunch on the nose, with a slight soupy quality to go with strawberry and raspberry aromas. The palate is thick and sturdy, with earthy, old-school flavors of berry fruits, mineral and dry earth. Finishes slightly baked and sweet. Another good old-vines (40 years) Carignan from Maule.

Oveja Negra 2011 Reserva Sauvignon Blanc-Carmenére White (Maule Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Mild and appealing on the nose, with just enough citrus to convince you that it’s Sauvignon Blanc. Solid and not at all spritzy or wild feeling, with gooseberry, lime and passion fruit flavors. Finishes pithy but true, with lasting citrus and green herb notes.

Oveja Negra 2008 Chardonnay-Viognier (Central Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Clean, crisp, no-nonense and neither Viognier nor Chardonnay in style. What it is is a lightly tropical, drink-me-now white wine with mango, banana and apple flavors. It drives it home on the palate and finish, and if well chilled it’ll go well with seafood, salad or Asian foods.
