Haras de Pirque 2001 Elegance Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- $40
Kicks off with some herbal, foresty notes but then finds its fruit in the form of ripe plum and blackberry. The palate offers all the black fruit you could ask for as well as a dollop of chocolate fudge. Comes up a bit short of the upper echelon but still it has a lot of positives. Imported by Remy Cointreau USA.

Haras de Pirque 2001 Character Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- $20
Inky dark in the glass, with a dense, smoky nose that succeeds in setting up the wine’s jacked-up, high-wattage palate. This wine needs more time in bottle to settle down.

Haras de Pirque 2002 Elegance Chardonnay (Maipo Valley)
- $25
The bouquet offers a strong blast of toasty oak along with apple, lemon and mango. This is no weak wine; in fact, it hits maximum overdrive in terms of zesty fruit and raw power. A full-force experience, with subtlety not really coming into play.

Haras de Pirque 2001 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- $11
Forceful and earthy, with a racy black-fruit and chocolate nose. It’s quite aggressive in the mouth, with piercing acidity that pushes the flavors and berry quotient to another level. Shows a slight hint of herbaceousness at the center, but overall it’s ripe and solid.

Haras de Pirque 2003 Character Syrah (Maipo Valley)
- $14
Alluring on the nose, with herbs, spice, olive and mocha accenting rugged berry aromas. Big and jammy in the mouth, with black plum circled by coffee and clove notes. Weighs in as large, and it’s tannic as nails. But if you like yours ripe and ready, this should make the grade. Imported by Remy Cointreau USA.

Haras de Pirque 2008 Estate Carmenère (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Feisty and bold, with olive and black fruit on the rustic nose. After it settles down the wine is lush and plump, with herbal, bitter chocolate and rich berry flavors. There are dry, peppery notes to the finish, and overall this shows the potential of Carmenère without resorting to overexraction or overoaking.

Haras de Pirque 2002 Character Chardonnay (Maipo Valley)
- $15
More smoky and yeasty on the nose than the Estate, with lemon, grapefruit and mineral notes. This wine is much more citric and tight than many, yet there’s a barrel influence and vanilla that manage to poke their way through.

Haras de Pirque 2002 Estate Carmenère (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- $11
Spicy and alive in the nose, with a touch of herbal green but also plenty of deeper berry fruit. This one tastes good; the palate is long and substantial, with chocolate and pepper notes jazzing it up.
