Santa Alicia 2005 Millantu Red (Maipo Valley)

Price $16

There’s no shortage of hickory and cinnamon aromas, which are derived from the wine’s copious oak. In the mouth, it’s all about cassis, blackberry, cola and chocolate...that and a tiny hint of butter and vanilla. A little chewy and thick on the finish, with black pepper and carob. — M.S.

Santa Alicia 2006 Millantu Red (Maipo Valley)

Price $28

Earthy and herbal on the nose, with a nice blanket of leather to add rusticity to the wine’s core cherry and raspberry aromas. The palate is full, chewy and a touch candied, with roasted berry, herb and chocolate flavors. Finishes lightly roasted as well; drink now. — M.S. (6/1/2011)

Santa Alicia 2007 Millantu Red (Maipo Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $28

A big disappointment given past performance and price. The nose flat-out reeks of roasted peppers, earth and leather. Through its rough tannins, leafiness and heavy olive flavor it’s about as green and mean as a high-end wine can be. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Carmenère. — M.S. (7/1/2011)
