Loma Larga 2009 Chardonnay (Casablanca Valley)
-
$17
Apple, pear, vanilla and toast aromas come at you strong but in a controlled way. The palate is fairly juicy, with good acidity to temper sweet vanilla, oak, banana and pineapple flavors. Finishes similarly, with vanilla and sweetness balanced by citric acids. Imported by GOS Wines and BMC Imports.

Loma Larga 2008 Rapsodia Red (Casablanca Valley)
-
$37
Floral smelling but also leafy and rubbery, with an overriding set of cheesy, leathery aromas. It’s crisp, tart and acidic in the mouth, with lean, generic red plum, aged cheese and vanilla flavors. Medium in weight, with choppy crispness to finish. Imported by GOS Wines and BMC Imports.
