Calama 2002 Chardonnay (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- $9
A mild aromatic note of corn goes alongside basic pineapple, pear and green apple on the nose. The flavors of melon, apple and pear are standard and delivered in conformed, pedestrian style. And the finish has some girth and substance. Very ordinary but successful in achieving its assumed mass-appeal goals. –M.S.

Calama 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Valley)
- Best Buy
- $6
Mushroom and charcoal dot the nose, but with that comes just a modicum of fruit. The palate is a bit bland even if it’s far from offensive, and so is the finish. Some wines don’t offend while they fail to impress. This is an example of that type of wine.

Calama 2001 Merlot (Casablanca Valley)
- $9
Briar patch, some green pepper and a little sweet baking spice carry the nose. The plum and berry flavors are accented by brown sugar and caramel, but also some green characteristics. The finish is smooth, but too green.

Calama 2002 Sauvignon Blanc (Curicó Valley)
- $6
The nose smells a bit like corn. The wine is round, soft and without much edge. The fruit seems a little pliable and ultimately it isn’t all that structured. Finishes with a bit of banana.
