Year in and year out, this ranks as a fine blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. Look for a comported nose with blackberry, cassis and earth tones. The palate is layered and chewy, with deep, dense flavors of blackberry, licorice, spice and herb. Toasty and long on the finish; drink now–2016.

Viña Requingua 2003 Potro de Piedra Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc (Curicó Valley)
- $25
Dark on the nose, with olive, rubber, plum and black cherry scents. The mouth is deep and saturated; there’s fairly lush plum, coffee and mocha flavors to ponder. Shows some espresso-like bitterness on the back end, which adds to the complexity. A definite contender. Imported by Megawine Inc.

Ultra smoky and baked, with aromas of campfire, berry marmalade and fine herbs. At 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, this is rich but balanced. It shows a cushioned mouthfeel and lively flavors of black cherry, cola, chocolate and even some cumin. Finishes roasted and firm, with a backbone of tannins. Drink now through 2011.

Blueberry and other sweet aromas are forward, floral and ripe. In the mouth, this blend is alert and juicy, with ripe berry flavors, ample oak and plenty of toast, coffee, pepper and herbs. Spreads out on the finish, and overall it’s showing class and clarity for an under-$15 wine.

Viña Requingua 2007 Puerto Viejo Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Curicó Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
A well-done, affordable Cabernet with all the qualities it should have. There are flowery, lavender notes to the black-fruit bouquet, and ripeness, depth and solid tannins in the mouth. The flavor profile of cola, blackberry and chocolate works just fine, and the finish is long and hints at bitter chocolate and tobacco.

Viña Requingua 2009 Toro de Piedra Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- $14
Full berry aromas blend with a light herbal whiff on the nose. In the mouth, it’s full-bodied and round, with dark blackberry and plum flavors. Turns a bit oaky and drying on the finish, but overall one can only praise the wine’s solidity, depth and honest flavors.
