2011 Chilcas Sauvignon Blanc Reserva Casablanca Valley87 points: Pale gold.  Pungent aromas of citrus pith and herbs, with a peppery note that builds with air.  Fleshy and broad but quite dry, offering reasonably intense bitter lemon and lime flavors.  Betrays a bit of heat on the tangy finish.

2010 Chilcas Cabernet Franc Single Vineyard Maule Valley87 points: Dark purple.  Pungent dark berry and cherry pit aromas are slow to unfold.  More expressive on the palate, which offers light-bodied blackberry and bitter cherry flavors and a hint of cracked pepper.  Finishes tight and linear, with good cut but a slight dry edge.  Nicely balanced cabernet franc, but a bit more flesh and sweetness would have been welcome.

2010 Chilcas Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva Lolol Colchagua Valley87 points: Inky purple.  Peppery dark berry and cherry pit aromas are deepened by notes of dark chocolate and bitter herbs.  Gently sweet and precise, with good energy to its blackcurrant and cherry flavors.  Closes on a firm, spicy note, with good cut but a slight dry edge.

2009 Chilcas Carmenere Las Almas Maule Valley91 points: Glass-staining ruby.  Black and blue fruit preserves on the highly perfumed nose, with licorice, vanilla and floral qualities adding complexity.  Broad, pliant cassis and blueberry flavors become spicier with aire.  Gentle tannins add shape to the bright finish but are absorbed by the wine's lush fruit, which lingers impressively.

Great ratings from Stephen Tanzer!
