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.

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 Gran Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- $28
Casas del Bosque makes some of the most pungent, expressive Sauvignon Blancs in Chile. This vintage fits the blueprint; it’s forward, punchy and full of passion fruit, white grapefruit and tarragon on both the bouquet and palate. Shows mineral components, saline and scallion on the finish. A high-quality wine with a commensurate price tag.

Casas del Bosque 2010 Gran Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- $16
Piercing and pungent up front, with sharp-edged aromas of nettle, lime, arugula and green bean. The palate is lithe and crisp, with green-leaning flavors of lettuce, lime and passion fruit. Lasting on the finish, with bell pepper and celery. A prime example of cool-climate Chilean SB.

Casas del Bosque 2008 Gran Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Clean and fresh, and also varietally correct as it unloads full but accurate aromas of cucumber, passion fruit and lime. Casas del Bosque does very well with Sauvignon Blanc. This wine has all the citrus, tang and style you could ask for, but it shows good depth and complexity as well, which is what pushes it up to the next level. For $14, this wine delivers plenty.

Casas del Bosque 2010 Gran Reserva Chardonnay (Casablanca Valley)
- $27
Baked apple, roasted corn, hay stack and buttery aromas define the nose on this full-bodied, fully oaked Chard from western Casablanca. Feels good, with weight as well as vitality. Flavors run toward baked apple, barrel spice and minerality. Finishes oaky, peppery and resiny.

Casas del Bosque 2010 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
A serious Cab with a medium-to-full disposition. Starts with aromas of loam, rubber and tobacco, then comes an active palate with zesty acids and a juicy overall feel. Tastes of black fruits and raspberry, with coffee, mocha and herbal accents. Thick on the finish, with tannic clamp and oaky residue.
