El Huique 2004 Reserve Marchigûe Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Warm, rubbery, ripe and loaded with berry fruit, vanilla and floral notes. The palate has sweet flavors, a rich texture and a touch of syrupy thickness to it, while the flavors of berry, mineral and herbs all come together in friendly unison. Still holding its form nearly six years after harvest; drink now.

Bright and zesty raspberry aromas bring a hint of leather and cheese. The palate is creamy and solid, with sweet, lightly candied flavors of red berry and cassis. Finishes with gravitas and balance as well as perky cherry and raspberry flavors.

El Huique 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
Herbal cherry and floral aromas provide a nice opening, and the palate is full and balanced, like a solid Colchagua Cab should be. Flavors of cherry and plum are level, long and tasty, and that pretty much describes the finish as well. Honest, true Chilean Cabernet.

El Huique 2005 Special Selection Syrah-Cabernet (Colchagua Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Slightly rough and leathery on first take, and a little soupy as well. Airing clears things up, leaving a steady, mildly stewed wine with roasted plum and blackberry flavors. Ripe, sweet and generous, with a controlled finish that properly reflects the wine’s flavors and mouthfeel.

El Huique 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Earthy and staunch on the nose, with gentle burnt, leafy qualities to go with berry aromas. Ripe plum, berry, pepper and dryness define the palate, while the finish shows vanilla and a mild leafiness. Has enough positives to earn a recommendation.

El Huique 2009 Special Selection Chardonnay (Colchagua Valley)
- $15
Toasty on the nose, with plenty of baked apple and warmth. The palate is round, smooth and toasty, with caramel running alongside baked apple and pear flavors. Sweet on the finish, plump in feel and good overall in a tropical, fun way.

El Huique 2007 Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
- $13
Good body and a fair amount of richness here. The nose is on the heavier, rubbery side, and it dulls down rather than expands. On the palate, Huique is warm, sweet, figgy and a little syrupy, with soft fruit and a touch of bitterness on the finish.

El Huique 2007 Reserve Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A bit sharp and volatile at first, but with time the aromas mellow out to rest on black fruits and olive. The palate has a lively kick to it but it’s also sort of hard and heavy, with roasted, basic black fruit and herbal flavors. Caramelized on the finish, but aggressive as a whole.
