Lagar de Bezana 2007 Aluvión Gran Reserva Red (Cachapoal Valley)
- $20
Sweet fruit and plenty of oak in the form of mocha and marshmallow give it a modern, friendly nose, but behind that candied curtain there’s a well-cut, semitannic wine with red fruit, herbal notes and spice backing. The finish has length and a touch of tobacco, and it’s stern enough to permit aging through 2013.

Lagar de Bezana 2007 Limited Edition Syrah (Cachapoal Valley)
- $30
A pricey Syrah by Chilean standards, but at least it’s a good wine. The nose offers cookie, violet, wet clay and herbal olive notes along with black fruit aromas, while the palate is packed with sweet roasted berry and dark plum flavors. A bit minty and candied on the finish as the oak treatment rises up and demands to be noticed.

Lagar de Bezana 2007 Aguacero Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Cachapoal Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A blast of chocolaty mint opens up this confected, somewhat conflicted Cabernet. And while the nose hints at sweetness, the palate is rather snappy and tannic, with lean, tart flavors of red cherries and plum skins. Fresh in feel but herbal and thin in terms of output.
