This is a comparison of the top Chilean cabernet sauvignon wines, with one ringer thrown in from California to provide a benchmark.
Chile is known for reasonably priced red wines.
But in the last few years there has also been an attempt to produce handcrafted wines from outstanding low-yielding vineyards, using international wine making technology. A good place try many of these wines is an outstanding restaurant in Washington, D.C., Caf Atlantico, which is essentially a Nouvelle Latin American inspired place with a fabulous Latin American wine list. Others use outside consultants, while some depend on local expertise. A key question is whether the quality of the wines justifies the prices. See the notes below for the ratings I could find.
