Chile has a long winemaking tradition. In recent years, his wines have gained greater attention worldwide, both for its quality – and in some cases, their exceptional value. Here, we test two red wines from Chile – a Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon – and assess their quality / price points. Four geographical areas surrounded the Chilean wine region: the Andes to the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Atacama Desert in the north and a series of claiers in the south. The barriers isolate Chile, the protection of the vineyards and the creation of a wide range of wine regions.Review, Caliterra Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon. The Caliterra Reserva Cabernet is a fairly inexpensive Chilean selection. It is from the Valle Central region of Chile. Caliterra is one of the larger wineries in Chile, produces almost half a million cases of wine a year.In the glass shows Caliterra Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon, as a very deep magenta. In the nose it shows a dark, brooding, charred grape quality.The palate is like sweet and bring charcoal, light, sweetened, blackened plum fruit up into the sides of the mouth. Fat finish, moving to alcohol. Three out of five stars. At the price, makes him an outstanding value.Find Caliterra Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva at WineZap.Review, Cono Sur Pinot Noir.Like Charlie Brown's experiments, the football that Lucy always cut the foot to kick, I have always tried to find the elusive value-price Pinot Noir. Consider Cono Sur my last run in this so-far mostly unsuccessful effort.I is mentioned that I enjoy the Veranda Pinot Noir from Chile did. But, hail, two caveats: the porch in a different area, and sells for about twice the price of the Cono Sur.So, let's see what offers the Cono Sur … In the glass it is bright, even, ruby red – bright, pretty, but not depth.The suggestive of the nose is promising – but distinctly un-pinot-noir-like. It is light, bright, almost buoyant – like a fresh new beaujolais.Sipping, you notice a twang of Pinot Noir strawberry and a touch of Lemony acids. It brings the bright flavors of the center of your palate, then fades quickly to a high note, stop light. Not to criticize, but not a worthy contender in my search for the "World's Best Value Pinot Noir. Two out of five stars on the Spirit of Wine scale. My hunt continues … Search Cono Sur Pinot Noir at WineZap.
