I have to admit, I've never found anything I like from Chile or Australia. Perhaps you could recommend something in a Cabernet, Shiraz, or Sangiovese?

Try 2001 Reynolds Vineyards - Orange Vinyard, New South Wales Shiraz - $16.

Or 2001 Yangarra Park - South Eastern Australia Shiraz - $8.

Yellowtail Shiraz is hard to beat. Delicious wine, and a good price. The Cabernet is good, too.

At what price point? (Incidentally, I'm largely with you on Chile. Great potential, poorly executed. And, IMHO, no Sangiovese compares to Italian Chianti in value.)

Read among others the WSJ's Friday wine columns.
They regularly mention good Chilean and Argentine red wines.

Try the Argentine Malbec from Trapiche; it's inexpensive and good (IMNSHO).
