Oveja Negra 2009 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Maule Valley)
- $16
Rooty and well spiced on the bouquet, with light herbal/leafy accents and appealing cassis and berry aromas. The palate is balanced and offers good flow and feel, while the flavors of cassis, dark berry and chocolate are satisfying and smooth. An affordable, quality Cab that delivers the goods.

Creamy and oaky on the nose, with a soft touch. This blend of 68% Cabernet and 32% Syrah offers weight, density and smooth edges along with blackberry, coffee and mild medicinal and herbal flavors. Finishes dark, toasty and a touch minty.

Oveja Negra 2008 Single Vineyard Carignan (Maule Valley)
- $18
Meaty and staunch on the nose, with a slight soupy quality to go with strawberry and raspberry aromas. The palate is thick and sturdy, with earthy, old-school flavors of berry fruits, mineral and dry earth. Finishes slightly baked and sweet. Another good old-vines (40 years) Carignan from Maule.

Oveja Negra 2009 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Maule Valley)
- $14
Rich and soupy smelling at first, then as it airs, cherry, leather and spice notes emerge. The palate is lush, deep and balanced, with blackberry and sweet plum flavors, finishing on a chocolate note.

Oveja Negra 2011 Reserva Sauvignon Blanc-Carmenère White (Maule Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Mild and appealing on the nose, with just enough citrus to convince you that it’s Sauvignon Blanc. Solid and not at all spritzy or wild feeling, with gooseberry, lime and passion fruit flavors. Finishes pithy but true, with lasting citrus and green herb notes.

Oveja Negra 2008 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Maule Valley)
- $18
Sweet, rooty and robust, with a firm palate that hits with cassis, blackberry and mild herbal flavors. A juicy, lively, well-balanced Cab with earthy fig notes and chocolate on the finish. Nothing complicated; just plain old proper and drinkable.

Oveja Negra 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Central Valley)
- Best Buy
- $8
The start is a bit foresty but under the microscope this blend has the chops to deserve a Best Buy call out. The palate is perfectly ripe and loaded with plum, berry and vanilla from the oak. It is easy to take and finishes in clean, medium-length fashion. Nothing complicated; just a good-drinking red wine for not much cash.

Oveja Negra 2008 The Lost Barrel Red (Maule Valley)
- $25
Wiry on the nose, with herbal, punchy, slightly strained red fruit aromas that suggest rhubarb. The palate is amorphous and standard, with lightly baked, mildly stewy blackberry and herbal flavors. On the finish, it’s pure tobacco, chocolate and coffee. Syrah, Carignan, Carmenère and Petit Verdot.
— M.S.
