Peteroa 2004 Reserve Chardonnay (Central Valley)
- $12
This turned out to be the best of the Peteroa current line, and it’s an ’04 Chardonnay, which tells you that new releases are not this winery’s bag. Still, this is okay if you like marmalade flavors and size, with some peach strudel on the finish. Drink yesterday; it’s losing steam fast.

Peteroa 2004 Reserve Carmenère (Central Valley)
- $12
Immediately this wine hits you with everything that has given Carmenère its shaky reputation; meaning vegetal/herbal aromas and flavors along with hints of saddle leather and the ol’ horse stable. The mouthfeel is a savior because it’s smooth and healthy, but the aromas and flavors barely cut it.

Peteroa 2003 Reserve Merlot (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
This is the first year we’ve reviewed this winery’s range of wines, and so far the results are not that good. Like other Peteroa wines, this has a lot of funk, bramble and other unfocused aromas and flavors. It’s okay on a good day but devoid of the cleanliness and charms we desire.

Peteroa 2003 Reserve Pinot Noir (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
An earthy, rubbery Pinot that’s not likely to sway the drinker of Burgundy any closer to Chile. This is tart, bulky stuff with size and zero subtlety.

Peteroa 2003 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Valley)
- $12
Not what you’d call a clean, direct wine. The nose is nutty and dirty, while the flavors are underdeveloped, vegetal and tart. Barely worth a look.
