Estampa 2005 Gold Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot-Malbec Red (Colchagua Valley)

Price $23

Ripe almost to the point of overdone, but then it draws itself back. The nose is one part baked and one part ripe cassis and blackberry. And the palate is more or less the same thing: cassis, berry, savory roasted flavors and chocolate are all present and accounted for. Finishes with a splash of BBQ and brandied cherry. A big, broad blend of Syrah, Cabernet, Merlot… — M.S. (5/1/2009)

Estampa 2004 Gold Assemblage Carménère-Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc-Petit Verdot Red (Colchagua Valley)

Price $19

Estampa throws the kitchen sink at this blend; the final result is more than solid. The nose centers on dark berries, prune and licorice, while the flavors include meaty black fruit and some acid-based juicy red fruits. The overall feel is comfortable, and the wine is intense and challenging. Drink now through 2009. — M.S. (5/1/2008)

Estampa 2008 Gold Carménère-Cabernet Sauvignon-Petit Verdot-Cabernet Franc Red (Colchagua Valley)

Price $24

Whole and typical of Chile on the nose, with aromas of eucalyptus, spice, berry, plum and leather. Full, structured and tannic in the mouth, with herbal blackberry, tobacco and cola flavors. Spicy and integrated on the finish; Carmenère, Cabernet, Petit Verdot and Cab Franc. — M.S. (4/1/2012)

Estampa 2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenere-Petit Verdot Assemblage Red (Colchagua Valley)

Price $16

Perfectly ripe, with hints of raisin, licorice and blackberry on the nose. So mature and ready that it has sweetness, but it’s natural and offset by a backbone of fine tannins. Cola and chocolate come into play on the finish, while overall it drinks like a sun-drenched but well-made red wine. — M.S. (9/1/2009)

Estampa 2004 Reserve Assemblage Cabernet Sauvignon Carménère Petit Verdot Red (Colchagua Valley)

Best Buy

Price $12

With its black-olive aromas touched up by spice and subtle dark fruits, this wine performs at a level beyond its price range. The palate features cola, black cherry and plum, while the finish offers cleansing acids and savory tannins. What a nice, affordable red for a meal off the grill. — M.S. (11/15/2006)

Estampa 2009 Reserve Assemblage Carménère-Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc Red (Colchagua Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $16

A big blast of roasted berry, herb and spice hits hard on the composed bouquet. Feels stocky and lush, with full tannins, good extract and flavors of herb, black olive, earth, cola and toasty blackberry. Toasted on the finish, with bitter chocolate notes. — M.S. (6/1/2012)

Estampa 2006 Carménère-Merlot Red (Colchagua Valley)

Best Buy

Price $9

Seems as though Estampa did well with its value-priced red wines in 2006. This Carmenère-Merlot blend is dark, sweet and nicely balanced. It gets the important things like tannins and acidity right, and then really pours on the ripeness of fruit. Delivers a lot for an under-$10 wine. — M.S. (7/1/2008)

Estampa 2006 Reserve Assemblage Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot Red (Colchagua Valley)

Price $16

Estampa is fond of blending three grapes together, and here they have succeeded in marrying Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot. The nose is deep and rich, with smooth black-fruit aromas and tobacco. The palate is saturated but steady, with plum, chocolate and oily tobacco flavors. Quite warm, earthy and rewarding for under $20. — M.S. (7/1/2009)
