Leyda 2009 Lot 5 Chardonnay (Leyda Valley)
- $30
Definitely an elevated New World-style Chardonnay with baked apple, peach and toast aromas. The palate is richly textured, with lemony flavors that suggest orange, green melon and apple. A fresh and classy wine with well-applied oak and good overall balance.

Leyda 2006 Lot 21 Pinot Noir (San Antonio)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Tea, raspberry and tree bark aromas are interesting and inviting, while the strawberry and cherry flavors are a little gritty and reduced but true to the blueprint in terms of taste. On the finish, chocolate, vanilla and other oak-based flavors do their thing. Not a perfect New World Pinot but it’s on the right path.

Leyda 2009 Classic Chardonnay (Leyda Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Wet, salinic, oceanic and appley on the nose, with snappy, crisp, almost tart flavors of apple and citrus. A pure wine with juicy acids and a monotone finish that sports lemon and green apple. Powerful, pure, acidic and zesty for Chilean Chardonnay.

Leyda 2011 Classic Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Briney and oceanic on the nose, but not vegetal as lime and green melon aromas take control. Citrusy, juicy and fresh in the mouth, with passion fruit, citrus, mango and pineapple flavors. This is pure coastal Chilean SB, and it finishes grassy and green, with lasting tang.

Leyda 2006 Classic Sauvignon Blanc (San Antonio)
- Best Buy
- $11
Pungent and green on the nose, which makes it 100% varietally correct. It smells and tastes of cool-climate terroir, and if you enjoy simple but likable citrus, melon, snap pea and bell pepper characteristics, this has it. Good by the glass or by the bottle.

Leyda 2010 Lot 5 Chardonnay (Leyda Valley)
- $28
This small-production Chardonnay delivers melon and apple scents along with stalky, green aromas. The palate offers more crisp acidity than plumpness, while the flavors are pure citrus, mostly orange and grapefruit. Wet and fresh for sure.

Leyda 2010 Lot 21 Pinot Noir (Leyda Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
Earthy and muddled smelling at first, then better and more varietally correct as it opens up. Solid on the palate, with earthy strawberry, raspberry and creamy, lactic oak. Finishes sweet and ripe, with tea notes.

Leyda 2009 Classic Pinot Noir (San Antonio)
- Best Buy
- $11
Starts out dry and leafy, then the spice and red-cherry aromas rise up. The palate is medium sized and mellow despite present acidity, and the flavors of juicy cherry and raspberry are more than solid. A fresh wine with good red fruit carry over from palate to finish.
— M.S.
