Global vineyards

This company represents only Chilean wines. Boutique wines that otherwise wouldnt make it out of the country. Chilean wines are usually good value and flavors for the money.They tend to be better food wines so in tasting these they were a bit acidic for me, the reds anyway.

De Martino Chardonnay Legando or Legacy. Surprisingly rich for no malolactic fermentation. lots of tropical fruit overtones. but not sweet.

Apaltagua Carmenere 2004 No oak. Last month in the Tastebud magazine I said something to the effect of wine with tacos..not so much. This wine had an interesting jalapeno spice to it that might work. By itself though it was a little offputting.

Apaltagua Cabernet 05 Dark rich color in the glass pretty cocoa on the finish that turned a little bitter.

The winner of the group was Antiyal 2004 A Carmenere, Cab and Syrah blend. This vintage received 92 from Spectator. Really pretty cab nose and long finish. Cost on the shelf will be around $45. You will have to look for this in the lay down French section though because my Chilean section does not have a lay down area and this needs to lay down.
