Pargua 2007 Anka Pargua II Red (Maipo Valley)

Price $20

Toasty and solid on the nose, with hints of mineral, dark spice, black olive and cassis. It’s structured but a little rich and sticky, with sweet berry and cassis flavors along with brown sugar on the finish. A blend of six grapes that’s easygoing and generous. Drink now through 2013. — M.S. (7/1/2011)

Pargua 2008 Red (Maipo Valley)

Price $42

This blend of six grapes is led by Cabernet Sauvignon. On the bouquet, it’s dry and dusty, with tobacco, cherry and a hint of raisin. The palate feels a touch baked and/or cooked, while reedy, minty, lightly herbal flavors are offset by cassis and berry. Mild astringency defines the finish. — M.S. (6/1/2013)
