Korta 2007 Gran Reserva Red (Lontué Valley)
- $25
Briary and a little hot on the nose, with dust and coffee aromas. The palate is regular in size, with tangy, semisharp currant, raspberry and plum flavors in front of a toasty, mildly minty finish. More snappy and lively than dense and deep. Drink now.

Korta 2009 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon (Lontué Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Dark, fruity and common in every way, but sometimes that’s all you need. The wine has a clean, ordinary cassis and berry nose followed by a juicy palate with dark fruit flavors that show accents of vanilla, spice and chocolate. Totally drinkable and likable.

Korta 2009 Viognier-Sauvignon Blanc-Chardonnay White (Lontué Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $8
A lively, surprising bargain made from Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. That it costs merely $8 makes the melon and apple aromas and flavors all the better. Citrusy as it evolves, and clean throughout, with no wavering. A very nice white quaffing wine.

Korta 2007 Barrel Selection Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Lontué Valley)
- $13
Herbal berry aromas are solid enough but less than impressive, while the palate is soft, full, round and regular. Full across the palate, with mildly green cassis and berry flavors, then soft, chunky and slightly herbal on the finish.

Korta 2007 Barrel Selection Reserve Syrah (Lontué Valley)
- $13
Opens with aromas of burnt leaves and gritty berry fruit. The palate is fleshy and simple, with herbal roasted-berry flavors. Finishes with more herbal flavor and a lightly scratchy feel. Good enough for the money, but a little short in ripeness, character and structure.

Korta 2009 Estate Bottled Carmenère (Lontué Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Round and ultra oaky on the nose, with creamy mocha aromas. The palate and finish follow suit, meaning a creamy oak feel and flavor dominate. Along the way it’s all vanilla, mocha and candy. Smooth and creamy but where’s the character?
