Viña Bisquertt 2010 La Joya Reserve Merlot (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Toasty, rich and spicy on the nose, with big black fruit aromas, a dusting of raw oak and smoked meat. It’s full, round and lush in the mouth, with ripe flavors of blackberry and oak but nothing candied, faux or cheap tasting. Smooth, full and chocolaty on the finish; excellent overall for $11 Merlot.

Viña Bisquertt 2004 Casa la Joya Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- $9
Lively, rich and complete. There’s a lot of wine here for under $10, and the assumption in these parts is that it has everything the average consumer is looking for. Boysenberry, blackberry and cassis flavors are lively yet round, while the finish is saturated and thorough. A full-strength red at a great price. Imported by Prestige Wine Group.

- Best Buy
- $13
Big and relaxed, with a nice perfume that includes spice and earth. Shows balance and firmness on the tongue, with hints of olive, toast and fudge. Exemplary Carmenère from a good vintage. Imported by Prestige Wine Group.

Viña Bisquertt 2006 Casa la Joya Gran Reserve Merlot (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
Round, floral, fruity and just a bit bretty. Almost everything is right about this value-priced wine. The fruit is dark and veers toward black cherry and plum, while the feel is good. Finishes with a nice run of dry oak and chocolate flavors.

Viña Bisquertt 2007 Ecos de Rulo Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
- $19
Very good Carmenère with requisite tea, herbal and bold berry aromas. The palate is just right in that it’s neither heavy nor sharp, and the flavors of cola, burnt brown sugar and roasted berries are smooth and deep. Finishes with notes of coffee, herbs and sweet fruits as it hits the target close to the bull’s eye.

Viña Bisquertt 2002 Casa la Joya Gran Reserve Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
From Bisquertt, this is a saturated, earthy, berry-packed version of Carmenère. The palate is ripe and fruity, with a ton of spunky berry fruit wrapped in a nice coating of smooth oak. Chocolate and raisin flavors are nice finishing notes. Complete stuff, with just a tiny bit of outlying acidity.

Viña Bisquertt 2006 Casa la Joya Reserve Merlot (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- $11
There’s very little difference between this Merlot and La Joya’s so-called Gran Reserve. Both are entirely solid, ripe, a touch bretty and friendly as can be. This wine has more plumpness and less structure than its big brother, but it’s nice if you like soft, round, chewy berry fruit and not much tannic bite or acidic roughness.

Viña Bisquertt 2007 Casa la Joya Reserve Merlot (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Bisquertt usually does well with its value-priced Merlots, and seeing that 2007 was an excellent vintage in Chile, this wine excels in the value price range. The nose is dark and saturated, but pure and inviting. And the palate is ripe and smooth, with spice, plum, blackberry and herb notes, particularly anise. Finishes clean, smooth and peppery. Drink now.
