Tamaya 2006 Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon-Carménère-Syrah Red (Limarí Valley)
- $23
Very nicely done, with coffee, leather, smoked meat and other inviting aromas. With stout but nongrating tannins, there’s spine to this wine and also attractive flavors of cola, black cherry and berry. Masculine, tight, muscled and clean. Probably the best wine we’ve tried from Tamaya. Imported by Ecovalley Quality Wine Group and National Refrescos Import Company, LLC.

Tamaya 2007 Reserva Syrah (Limarí Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
Limarí is proving itself to be the right region for floral, cool-climate Syrah. This one from Tamaya is minerally and flowery smelling, with bright flavors of black cherry, plum and boysenberry. It’s structured and zesty, with good tannic grip and a full finish of kirsch, pepper and coffee. Not outrageous but still one of the best wines we’ve tried from this…

Tamaya 2006 Winemaker's Selection Single Vineyard Syrah (Limarí Valley)
- $23
A friendly wine with aromatic hints of cassis, coconut and chocolate. This wine reflects its northern locale with popping raspberry and plum flavors. On the other hand, there is also plenty of wood thrown at it, so expect loads of brown sugar, spice and peppery resin. One of Tamaya’s best wines to date.

Tamaya 2007 Winemaker's Selection Single Vineyard Carmenère (Limarí Valley)
- $20
Big and bold, but also a tiny bit herbal on the nose. The palate is generous and plump, with plum, blackberry and herbal accents typical of Carmenère. The finish is fleshy and round, with cuddly tannins and good depth. One of Tamaya’s best wines. Imported by Ecovalley Quality Wine Group and National Refrescos Import Company, LLC.

Tamaya 2008 Reserva Chardonnay-Viognier (Limarí Valley)
- $15
A very nice blended white with melon and powdered sugar aromas. The palate is ripe and bouncy, with body and flavors of apricot, orange and lime. Dry and brushing up against complex on the finish. Shows more Viognier than Chardonnay. More than solid for the money. Imported by Ecovalley Quality Wine Group and National Refrescos Import Company, LLC.

Tamaya 2009 Winemaker's Selection Single Vineyard Quebrada Seca Chardonnay (Limarí Valley)
- $23
Sweet and oaky, and a little bit forced, but even so this is a natural, full-bodied Chardonnay with a chunky palate and tropical, sweet flavors. As it opens it goes more into the banana, vanilla and papaya field of play, and it finishes decidedly creamy and round. Very good stuff from Tamaya.

Tamaya 2008 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Starts out grapey and big, but soon it finds its focus. The palate is wide and fruity, with balanced tannins and acidity propping up black grape and blackberry flavors. There’s some smack to the finish, but the berry flavor is prime and the wine gets better with air. One of Tamaya’s best Cabs to date. Imported by Ecovalley Quality Wine Group and National Refrescos…

Tamaya 2007 Reserva Carmenère (Limarí Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A little crusty and candied on the nose, but in due time it finds its stride. Flavors of plum, tea and fresh herbs are true to the variety, and the palate feel is ripe yet balanced, while the finish is long and steady. With lots of fruit and a hint of chocolate, this ranks as a good, recommended Carmenère. Imported by Ecovalley Quality Wine Group and National…
