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.

Pure, inviting and open, with cedar, tobacco, blackberry, earth and cookie dough aromas scattered all over a robust bouquet. Deep but fresh, with fine balance and a bold, jammy set of blackberry and black-pepper flavors. Finishes well, with integration and easygoing tannins. Drink now through 2013.

Matetic 2008 EQ Syrah (San Antonio)
- Editors' Choice
- $43
Evidence is showing that Matetic is rising to the top of Chile’s Syrah mountain. This is a floral, heady, deep wine with bold black fruit aromas. Boldness is key throughout, and the palate delivers pure wild berry, blackberry and cassis flavors. Smooth yet powerful; a voluminous wine with class and character. Drink now through 2014.

Matetic 2009 Corralillo Syrah (San Antonio)
- $28
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 2008 Corralillo Syrah (San Antonio)
- $28
Purple in color, with big, grapy aromas that fold in meatiness, warmth and power. The palate is a jammy blast of concentrated black fruit, herbs and lighter citrus along the edges. Lush on the back side, and probably more bold and forceful as opposed to refined or elegant. Drink now through 2012.

Undurraga 2008 T.H. Lo Abarca Sauvignon Blanc (San Antonio)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
This is what you want from Chile. The bouquet of green apple, lime, mineral, sea air and controlled sweetness is impressive while not being forceful. Flavors of citrus, pineapple and green herbs are live-wire, while the feel is stimulating and spritzy. With a juicy finish and tons of zest,this is a lovely, true wine that reflects its coastal San Antonio origins.

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.

Matetic 2003 EQ Syrah (San Antonio)
- $25
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.
