I’ve been working in Cono Sur since… [...]Cono Sur Bicycle Merlot 2008
Cono Sur wines are a triple threat: They are among the best bargains in the liquor store, and they are also organic and sustainable farmed. This spicy merlot is intense, with plum and cherry flavours.

Cono Sur Bicycle Viognier 2008
A dazzling value, showing vibrancy, depth and complexity well beyond its price. The secret? Viognier was grafted onto chenin blanc vines that were planted in 1957; the old vines add intensity to the flavours. Expect lifted aromas of spearmint, starfruit and pepper. Light to mid-weight and zesty, with some typical Viognier bitterness. The 2009 should [...]
Cono Sur Bicycle Pinot Noir 2008
This has been a general list staple for several years, offering decent pinot character at a price most producers can’t touch. The large old pinot vineyards at Cono Sur are so specialized that a new pinot-only winery was built this year. This has a generous cran-rhubarb flavours and a touch of perfume and oak toast. [...]

Cono Sur Bicycle Viognier 2008
From Valle de Colchagua (Colchagua Valley), this wine has amazing spicy, nectarine, honey, grapefruit and orange aromas. The palate is lively with spicy, floral, ginger, orange, juicy melon flavours. Elegant and fun with lots of fruit. Consistently fine and the 2008 is one of the best yet.
