Concha y Toro 2001 Block 25 Terrunyo Chardonnay (Casablanca Valley)
- $25
At first the nose is like caramelized popcorn, a forward combination of oak and toast. The flavors are of apple, pear and citrus, and that well-blended package is carried by excellent acidity, the type you could call “bracing.” The finish goes on for quite some time, proof that this is a ripe, healthy wine that’s hitting its stride.

Concha y Toro 2006 Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Meticulous winemaker Ignacio Recabarren has been working and working the Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc for the past five years and in 2006 he seems to have nailed it. You can smell and taste its purity and style. The citrus and minerality are unparalleled in Chile, while the finish is as long as the country it comes from.

Striking and sincere Sauvignon Blanc. One whiff, one taste and one swish across the palate and you’ll know that this is elevated stuff. For starters, the bouquet delivers honest bell pepper, melon, passion fruit and apple aromas; and along with the fruit there’s nuance, structure and balancing herbal notes. Full, long and regal.

Casas del Bosque 2010 Pequeñas Producciones Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Rare is the Chilean SB that rises high enough to be called gorgeous, but this wine is just that. New Zealand-born winemaker Grant Phelps has crafted a bright, bold, citric Sauvignon that’s crisp as a mountain stream and endowed with tangy, lovely flavors of tangerine, lime, pineapple and green apple. Long and delicious; a cut above the rest.

Casas del Bosque 2011 Pequeñas Producciones Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $33
A perennial favorite due to its precise yet prickly nose of green melon, passion fruit, grapefruit and minerality. It’s smooth yet cutting on the palate, with pithy lime, orange, passion fruit and lemon flavors. More refined than CDB’s Gran Reserva, but generally speaking it’s a similar wine.

Kingston Family 2008 Alazan Pinot Noir (Casablanca Valley)
- $30
Kingston’s top-level Pinot Noir has been a consistent scorer for the past three vintages. The 2008 starts with pure raspberry and cherry aromas as well as tea accents, while the textbook palate has a proper feel and tasty raspberry and cherry flavors. Spice notes and integrated oak help it achieve its status as one of Chile’s truest, most recognizable Pinot Noirs…

Ventisquero 2009 Herú Pinot Noir (Casablanca Valley)

- $45
Among Chilean Pinot Noirs, this is one of the best. The bouquet blends leather, berry, plum and spice aromas with fine results. Feels full, elegant and complete on the palate, with spicy, layered flavors of dry berry fruit and peppercorn. Smooth and unwavering on the finish. Drink now through 2014.

Morandé 2007 Edición Limitada Golden Harvest Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- $22
Pungent and pretty right off the bat, with tangerine and apricot aromas. The viscosity and texture are excellent, while the concentrated flavor profile vacillates between sweet honey and cinnamon and fruity orange. Wonderfully ripe, elegant and pure; drink now through 2013.
