A little meat and earth add depth to this wine’s dominant cassis and berry aromas. It is bold, with black fruit, chocolate and spice flavors. This is a familiar style of wine made right.

Undurraga 2005 Aliwen Reserva Chardonnay (Central Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
This new wine from a venerable Chilean producer scores points all over the map. The nose is a smooth ride of white fruits and cleanliness, while the mouth pulsates with pear, green banana and toasted walnuts. Harmonious and sturdy, with fine balance. One of the best ten-buck, buy-and-drink Chards you’ll find.

Undurraga 2010 Aliwen Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Rapel Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
This is herbal and a touch smoky on the nose, with plum and berry components. It feels lifted but full bodied, with ripe, creamy flavors of dark fruit and integrated oak-based spice. It shows a sweet, balsamic, root-like quality on the finish.

Thick and meaty on the nose, with aromas of cola and spice. The palate has a tight structure, some sharpness and spicy, braised-fruit and tobacco flavors. Finishes mostly in the spice zone, with dried fruits and a spot of leftover acidic bite. Good for a basic Cabernet-Carmenère blend.

Opens with cherry and spiced aromas. The palate is plump and chewy, with full tannins and earthy, herbal flavors of roast plum and olive. Finishes big and chunky, with solid Cabernet (60%) and Carmenère (40%) character. Good for what amounts to a basic red wine.
