San Pedro 2002 1865 Reserva Malbec (Curicó Valley)
- $19
Starts with inviting but oaky aromas of toast and menthol, then moves into crisp black cherry flavors on the palate. Offers an intriguing combination of flesh and structure, picking up hints of bacon on the finish. From untrained and unirrigated old plantings of Côt.

San Pedro 2001 1865 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- $19
Winemaker Irene Paiva describes Maipo Cabernets as often having a minty or eucalyptus character, and that’s certainly evident in this wine, alongside plump, ripe berry notes. Long and finely textured on the finish.

San Pedro 2002 1865 Reserva Carmenère (Maule Valley)
- $19
Smoky and herbal on the nose; like the rest of the Viña San Pedro offerings, this one is typical of its variety. Sappy, resiny, green notes alongside riper black cherry flavors end on a coffee-like note.

San Pedro 2005 1865 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- $20
For a higher-end wine from San Pedro, we’d like to see a little more in the way of focus and less blast-furnace oak. The wine initially smells like a hickory factory, and even when that woodiness calms down there are rough-hewn tannins and an herbal core identity. On the plus side, it does get better and better with airing.

San Pedro 2003 1865 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- $18
Less dark than most, which indicates that the wine is well into its aging process. On the nose, you’ll find buttery dill aromas, while on the palate there’s some leafy berry, tomato and cola flavors. Decent but unspectacular, and it seems as though it’s beginning to fade away.

San Pedro 2005 1865 Reserva Syrah (Maipo Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Some may say the foxy, brambly aromas are true to the variety. The palate, though, is rather tangy due to sharper than expected acids that force the flavor profile towards lean black cherry and raspberry. A crisp wine with ample oak, but seems in need of focus.

San Pedro 2004 1865 Reserva Carmenère (Maule Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
High priced for Carmenère, especially one of this marginal quality. The nose is all olives and herbal essence, while the palate shows a coating of cinnamon oak on top of midland red cherry and raspberry flavors. Not that impressive given that it’s a reserve-level effort.
