Santa Rita 1999 Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

  1. $65
The 1997 Casa Real was royal, and the ’99 is even better. It’s rich, deep and lavishly oaked. The concentration is intense but it’s not overly tight or tannic. In every way it’s a dead ringer for sweet, luscious fruit-forward Napa Cabernet. Plum, coffee and cream share center stage on the stylish finish.  — M.S.  (3/1/2002)

Santa Rita 2007 Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $75
One of Chile’s benchmark wines is typically clean, pure and inviting. The nose is ripe and lusty, while the palate is vital, juicy, fresh and crisp, with fine Cabernet flavors of black currant, cherry, chocolate and more. Probably the closest thing in style to great Napa Valley Cab; deep, dense and long on the finish. A hearty but refined wine to drink now through 2017.  — M.S.  (6/1/2011)

Domus Aurea 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $60
After a few down years and a couple of winemaker changes, Domus Aurea is back in fine form. The nose is heady, leathery and powerful, while the palate is compact, bullish and tannic. Tastes fabulous with its dynamic mix of brawny berry, tobacco, toast and leather. A Maipo Valley gem with length and complexity. Drink now through 2014.  — M.S.  (12/1/2010)

Errazuriz 2003 Viñedo Chadwick Red (Maipo Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $100
The Chadwicks have hit the big time with this superb Cabernet-dominated blend. The bouquet of black cherry, charcoal, plum and tree bark is sensational, while the cassis, cherry and tobacco flavors sing on the palate. Lots of fruit, power and balance, with a touch of earthiness.  — M.S.  (10/1/2006)

Domus Aurea 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $55
Arguably the best Domus to date. This wine is super-complete and remarkably individual. It has that classic Macul-area aromas of black olive and tobacco, but the fruit from this great vintage is elevated and pure. Look for graphite, tar, cassis, cherry and chocolate all rolled into one fine, ageable package. It’s Cabernet from Chile in all its glory. Drink now…  — M.S.  (5/1/2009)

Santa Rita 2001 Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $65
Made from 30-year-old vines, this wine represents the pinnacle of Santa Rita’s production. It’s lush and rich, with vanilla, cedar, tobacco and cassis aromas. The palate is layered and textured, displaying the perfect mix of concentration and softness. Finishes supple, with smooth tannins and some chocolate and marshmallow. One of Chile’s best.  — M.S.  (11/15/2004)

TerraMater 2005 Altum Single Vineyard Shiraz (Maipo Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $22
Smooth as perfectly blended chocolate on the nose, with exceedingly comfortable yet ripe black-fruit aromas. The palate is luscious and just chewy enough, but with good spine and balance. Finishes with an alert blaze of oak and lots of length. As good a Chilean Syrah as you’re likely to find.  — M.S.  (3/1/2008)

Viña Pérez Cruz 2004 Reserva Limited Edition Syrah (Maipo Valley)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $19
Shocked! That’s hopefully how you’ll feel after taking your first sip of this extraordinary Chilean Syrah. Potent is the nose; equally packed with plum, berry and chocolate is the mouth. And with mouthcoating tannins, extract and just enough core acidity, the finish lasts for minutes on end. One of the best Chilean Syrahs you’ll find, and it’s under $20.  — M.S.  (12/31/2006)
