Llai Llai 2009 Chardonnay (Bío Bío Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Light and properly toasted on the nose, with pineapple, vanilla and yeasty bread notes. Quite fresh and bright across the tongue, with melon, apple and pear flavors that are sweet and ripe but not sugary. Honest and well done for the price.

Llai Llai 2010 Chardonnay (Bío Bío Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Opens with white fruit, citrus, mineral and mild vanilla aromas. Feels wet, fresh and vital, with a minerally cut and flavors of pear, lime and honey. Feels correct on the finish. More generic in style than unique, but overall it’s a prime value Chardonnay.

Llai Llai 2009 Pinot Noir (Bío Bío Valley)

- $13
Light and brambly smelling, with mild cherry and raspberry fruit notes. The palate is slight in weight and honest, with juicy dried cherry and cocoa powder flavors. Snappy on the finish, with a touch of caramel sweetness.

Llai Llai 2010 Pinot Noir (Bío Bío Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Cool-climate aromas of rhubarb, red plum and brambly spice are draped all over this zesty, racy Pinot from Chile’s deep south. It feels quick and high in acid, with crisp, almost tart flavors of pie cherry and red plum. Finishes fresh but short.

Llai Llai 2008 Chardonnay (Bío Bío Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Waxy on the nose, but more fruity on the palate, where things run full and heavy with chunky pineapple and peach flavors. Finishes with a mix of sweet stickiness but also some pith and bitterness. Seems about average by Chilean standards.

Llai Llai 2008 Pinot Noir (Bío Bío Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Flat, dusty and candied smelling, with little body or concentration. The flavors are generic and hint at strawberry, and overall it fits the definition of a subpar New World Pinot Noir. Acceptable but barely worth a go.
— M.S.
