Matetic 2007 Syrah (San Antonio)
- Editors' Choice
- $86
Inky, penetrating and bursting with black-fruit aromas as well as coffee, mocha and pastry notes. The palate is perfectly lush and deep, with smooth tannins and proper acidity propelling jammy, lovely berry flavors. Dark, smoky and rubbery on the finish, with a streamlined tail. One of the best Chilean Syrahs. Drink now through 2014; only 150 cases made.

Concentrated blackberry and dark plum aromas offer up tobacco and dried spice notes. The wine is juicy yet full-bodied, with oaky coconut flavors accenting blackberry, black olive and leather. Fades out smooth and layered. A perennial leader among Chilean Syrah.

Matetic 2009 Syrah (San Antonio)
- $86
Blueberry and raspberry aromas are front and center along with a hint of animal hide. In the mouth, this is bullish, ripe and generous, with oak-rich flavors of vanilla, baked berry fruit and spice. Licorice, latent oak and heat work the finish on this ripe specimen. Among Chilean Syrahs, this is a perennial pack leader.

Matetic 2011 EQ Coastal Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Strikingly pungent on first take, with crackling aromas of cactus, nettle, lime and grapefruit. Feels zesty, deep and layered, with an even mix of tropical fruit flavors, stone fruits and green notes. About as right as it gets for Chilean Sauvignon Blanc.

Matetic 2003 EQ Syrah (San Antonio)

Opaque in color and dense throughout. Starts with a smoky, baked-plum personality before showing its true colors, which include a silky texture, soft tannins and masculine coffee, mocha and pepper qualities. Great mouthfeel and a lot of richness. Imported by The Calkins Group.

Matetic 2008 Syrah (San Antonio)
- $86
Saturated and black as night, with floral aromas mixed with earth, juniper and pruney fruit. Meaty and dark flavors ride on a bed of leathery, grabby tannins. Spicy, meaty and a touch herbal on the grinding, tannic finish.
