Wines from Limarí Valley
Viña Tabalí 2010 Reserva Especial Pinot Noir (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Briary plum, cherry and lemony oak aromas ride high on this dark, aggressive PN. Feels full and bullish, with dark, lemony flavors that suggest black fruit but never really get there. Finishes fiery, with size and heat.

Tacora 2011 Reserva Pinot Noir (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
This is dry, scratchy and peppery smelling, with a soft, plump mouthfeel, plus leafy, herbal flavors of baked berry and plum. Plump and solid in terms of feel, with modest fruit and carob flavors that control the short finish.

Peñalolen 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Slightly pickled, but with citrus as well. Seems a touch overdone, with peach flavors and some noticeable bitterness. Goes very light on the sweetness and weighs in less than friendly.

Viña Tabalí 2003 Reserva Merlot (Limarí Valley)
- $14
Very oaky; on the border of smelling like sawdust. Also brambly, with plum and cherry in the background. So much wood you get maple and pepper; not too convincing. Imported by American Wine Distributors.

Tamaya 2007 Winemaker's Selection Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Edgy, nervy and funky, with unfamiliar aromas and flavors. The nose is pickled and the palate is tart, linear and green. Loses itself as it opens, turning more herbal, sweaty and strange. Imported by Ecovalley Quality Wine Group and National Refrescos Import Company, LLC.

Terra Andina 2008 Reserva Chardonnay (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Heavy and yellow, with oxidized aromas of papaya and melon. The wine has acidity but it isn’t creating any vibrancy; instead, the wine is chunky, clumsy and tastes of banana and lemon. Acceptable but not really cutting it.

Tamaya 2009 Reserva Viognier-Chardonnay White (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Lazy smelling, oddly spiced and off the grid in an artificial, strange sort of way. Flavors of apple, spice and banana are mulled and cidery, while the finish is grabby and hot. Not as good as prior vintages. Imported by Ecovalley Quality Wine Group and National Refrescos Import Company, LLC.

Undurraga 2009 T.H. West Limarí Chardonnay (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Banana and lacquer aromas blend with pickled white fruit scents and brine. It’s by no means a fresh and inviting Chardonnay; instead, it’s a bit mustardy and briney, and not terribly fresh in feel. Is that sauerkraut on the finish?
— M.S.
