BrisAndes from Barons de Rothschild Lafite, made in Chile's Casablanca Valley. We did not detect "pineapple and lime" as the label said, but there were some citrus notes, and a nice sharp acidity. It didn't stab us in the mouth, but it was enjoyable to drink. And from Trader Joes, it was all of $6. I've had some "eh, so so" wines from Rothschild before, but I suspended my skepticism and was pleasantly surprised.
