Melania 2005 Certified Organic Malbec-Syrah (Maule Valley)
- $10
Slightly warm and salinic on the nose, with raspberry, plum and tomato leaf aromas taking over. The palate is modest but honest, while the flavors are of sweet berry fruits with pepper on the back side. Kind of generic; sticks to the script.

Melania 2004 Colección Especial Chardonnay (Maule Valley)
- $11
Lime and slate on the nose, but then it opens and turns blowsy. Surprisingly tart to the taste, with citrus and green apple in front and banana in the rear. Finishes flat, with a soda-water quality. Imported by C & C Imports, LLC.

Melania 2007 Certified Organic Sauvignon Blanc (Maule Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Dusty and sweet peach and apricot aromas lead to an innocuous, dilute palate that offers touches of melon, lemon and citrus. There’s a bit of zest and acidity, but not a whole lot.

Melania 2004 Colección Especial Merlot (Maule Valley)
- $11
Nice color, with candied, sweet-as-sugar aromas. Black cherry and chocolate carry the reduced palate. Finishes slightly weedy. Imported by C & C Imports, LLC.

Melania 2006 Chardonnay (Maule Valley)
- $8
Ripe to the point that it’s soft and flat. Big apple and banana flavors run the palate, while the finish is so low in acid that it takes on extra weight. Inoffensive but devoid of a measurable pulse.

Melania 2006 Colección Especial Sauvignon Blanc (Maule Valley)
- $10
Quite sweet to the nose, and then strapping and aggressive on the palate. The flavors of gooseberry and sweet bell peppers are not easy to wrap yourself around, and it finishes kind of clunky.

Melania 2005 Organic Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Maule Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
When a Chilean winery isn’t even doing Cabernet at a par level, we start to wonder. Across the board Melania’s wines have not shown much, as this sheer, rough and jumbled Cabernet shows.
