Haras 2005 Character Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- $20
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.

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.

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 2009 Carmenère (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
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.

Haras 2003 Chardonnay (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- $11
Haras de Pirque’s basic Chard works because it doesn’t try to do too much. Basic peach, pear and pineapple aromas pave the way toward apple, coconut and banana flavors. Good texture; solid at its core.

Haras 2005 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
Fairly chunky and full-bodied, with a definite Maipo Valley streak of herbs and olives running alongside basic berry and cassis fruit. There’s little to get thrilled or disappointed over; it’s good but standard Cabernet with Chile’s patented tobacco, olive and herbal accents.
