Chono? That wasn't quite my impression. But maybe we didn't have the same wines from that line. I liked the De Martino wines. I see them a bit less on the market, here in Quebec, than I did a few years back, however. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the Anakena. Syrupy? Chono? That wasn’t quite my impression.

Could it be that everyone picked Cono Sur becuase it's the most accessible? Living in London, which I think Chile has really concentrated on marketing to, try the Anakena or De Martino - check out my pick for WBW #52 - http://winesleuth.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/873/ I like the Chono line of wines but they do tend to be rather big and syrupy, loads of fruit.

I've found a lot of producers in Chile employing organic farming techniques, which certainly deserves some attention. I agree with Dale… thanks for highlighting an organic wine.

I got "candy-ish fruit" as well in the Santa Rita Reserva cab I tried--I called it berry/cherry Hawaaian punch! I also tasted a Casa Lapostolle which didn't have that "candy" taste. Maybe it's "Skittles"? I didn’t have much to choose from, living in the sticks like I do and not thinking far enough ahead to mail order something!

The WBW posts are all done independently. It must mean something about Cono Sur's product line in the under 20$ range. The clinching factor, for me, was the organic aspect, strictly. If I'd had Chono, another organic line from Alvaro Espinoza, on hand, I would probably have gone for that. Very solid wines, in the under 20$ price range. An interesting coincidence.
