($19, Frederick Wildman): Eduardo Chadwick, one of Chile’s top winemakers and owner of Arboleda, has always been a vigorous proponent of Shiraz, especially when grown in the Aconcagua Valley, a locale about 100 miles north of Santiago.  This wine justifies his enthusiasm.  Robust and kind of in-your-face, it delivers not only ripe fruit flavors but also notes of bacon fat and vanilla-scented oak.  Spicy and gamey nuances add to its exuberance, but it is still not an over-the-top wine.  It’s just what you need for hearty winter fare. 89 Michael Apstein Feb 10, 2009
