Viña Casas del Bosque 2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rapel Valley)
- $17
Aromas of cola, caramel and blackberries shift into flavors of earth and mushroom. The rich mouthfeel bursts with fruit and balanced tannins that finish with a suede-like sensation.

Viña Casas del Bosque 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rapel Valley)
- $16
Woody aromas smell much like warm cedar, and that’s backed up by some nice cherry and cassis. There’s plenty of pleasant red fruit on the palate, and not a hint of green. Some chocolaty earthiness makes it all the more cheerful. It’s an easy drinker that delivers solid Cab character without a lot of fuss and heavy extraction.

Viña Casas del Bosque 2004 Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Pungent and prickly, with a promise of sass to come. Solid citrus dominates the mouth, as grapefruit, snap pea and lime flavors add nuance. Fresh and chalky in terms of feel, with spotless varietal character. Good Casablanca Sauvignon. Multiple U.S. importers.

Viña Casas del Bosque 2004 Reserva Pinot Noir (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Dark and ripe; very Californian in style. Deep plum and black cherry aromas set the stage for spicy dark-fruit flavors. The balance is good, the acidity just right, and the finish toasty and upright. With an underlay of warming oak, this is commendable Chilean Pinot. Multiple U.S. importers.

Butterscotch, molasses and capuccino notes bookend nut and ripe mixed-berry flavors. Medium-bodied; has widespread appeal.

Viña Casas del Bosque 2000 Gran Bosque Cabernet Sauvignon (Rapel Valley)
- $17
More concentrated than the winery’s other reds, with root beer, cassis and toasty wood on the bouquet. Yet it’s still a lightweight in the world of Cabernets. It’s snappy and tea-like on the palate, with a clean finish.

Viña Casas del Bosque 2003 Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- $9
Spritzy, with a stand-up mouthfeel that sports notes of fresh green peas and minerals. The fruit is mostly lemon-lime, with a touch of green bell pepper onto the midpalate. Herbaceous but nice.

Viña Casas del Bosque 2002 Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
Pungent, with grapefruit and grassy aromas that are true to the variety. The palate is fresh, the flavors good and fruity. There’s mango and tangerine, and also some garden-fresh asparagus in the mix. The finish, too, is perfectly fresh; it’s there one moment and gone the next.
