Chile

Cono Sur 2009 Pinot Noir

A wine more like a Cab than a Pinot Noir.

Santa Rita 120 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Chile

A nicely dry Cab. But it requires some "air" time. Think about 15 minutes at the very least.

Santa Rita 120 2009 Savignon Blanc

Overall, a typical Blanc. Citrus in the right places, dry in the others. A good summer sipping wine, and rather on the cheap side, like a lot of Chilean wines.

Santa Alicia Reserva 2008 Carmenere

A 90 point wine (so the label says) from the Wine & Spirits Magazine. They should have added a couple of footnotes.

Copa del Rey 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Chile

Their blurb says this wine is: "the Cup of the King." I'm thinking the King of ID, here. It otherwise comes across as drinkable, but just.
