Haras 2005 Albis Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère (Maipo Valley)
- $47
This mature blend of Cabernet and Carmenère shows classic Maipo characteristics on the nose and palate. It smells foresty and spicy, with cola, tobacco, olive and earthy, leathery berry aromas. Tastes rooty and like fruitcake, with coffee, spice and raisin flavors. Legitimately complex but leafy and earthy. Drink now through 2014.

Haras 2007 Elegance Red (Maipo Valley)
- $62
Dark and earthy up front, with aromas of blackberry, hard spices and fresh tomato. The palate is jammy and deep, with brimming tannins supporting earthy, woodsy flavors of blackberry, moss and licorice. Flattens out somewhat on the finish, turning heavier and more rich. Drink over the next two years.

Whether you call the winery Haras or Haras de Pirque, this Character Cabernet is the real deal. It’s earthy and round, with almond, moss, blueberry and boysenberry on the well-oaked bouquet. Comes across juicy and ripe, with layered plum, blackberry and black olive flavors. Smooth on the finish, with a dark, mildly herbal salutation.

A very good value Carmenère with oak and charred aromas in front of berry, herbs and olive. The body is full and the wine has a nice feel; flavors of blackberry bring herbs, pepper and black olive accents. Toasty and a bit hot on the finsh, but bold and done well.

- $10
Good for Maipo Sauvignon Blanc, meaning it maintains a sense of purpose and elegance and doesn’t go flat and flabby. It’s a tropical express on the palate, with pineapple, passion fruit and gooseberry flavors. Finishes clean and short, but gets the job done. Drink now.

Haras 2006 Character Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère (Maipo Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Very Maipo-like in aromatics, with olive, leather, desert shrubs and basil, while the palate is tight, driven, acidic and tough. Dense and herbal in terms of flavors, with black fruit and oregano notes that fade on the finish. Extremely potent and muscular, but as the name suggests, it has character.
