Terrapura 2010 Chardonnay (Curicó Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
Mild peach and pear aromas are clean but not real expressive. Fresh and juicy in the mouth, with sweet pear and apple flavors riding on a wave of nice acidity. Fruity and citrusy on the finish.

Terrapura 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Muddled and earthy, with staunch aromas of leather, aged cheese and generic black fruits. The palate has life and kick, but the flavors are simple, dilute and herbal. Finishes with mild bitterness and black pepper.

Terrapura 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Basically a clean, light, simple white with a flat/soft body and pithy, dry flavors of citrus and melon rind. Shows some bitterness on the finish along with a flash of white heat. Decent at best. Drink right away.

Terrapura 2009 Merlot (Central Valley)
- $10
Herbal, lightly green aromas start out gaseous and rubbery but shed that excess with airing. The palate is crisp and tight, with bell pepper and oregano-like flavors outmuscling background red berry. Dry and simple on the finish.

Terrapura 2012 Chardonnay (Curicó Valley)
- $10
The nose on this simple Chardonnay is neutral except for modest citrus and mineral notes. It has a bit of zest on the palate, but not a lot, and flavors of citrus and apple come with honeyed sweetness. Things turn pithy on the finish.

Terrapura 2008 Merlot (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Heat, cherry and peppery, herbal aromas get it going, followed by murky, herbal flavors and a hard feel. The finish is quite herbal, and there’s more than an accent of tomato. Also a touch bitter. Run-of-the-mill Merlot at best.

Terrapura 2008 Carmenère (Central Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Smells meaty and leathery, and later sort of gritty and acrid. The palate is reticent and dry, with short, raisiny flavors that have a brown sugar sweetness at the center. Not awful but baked and boring.

Terrapura 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Peppery and a touch green, with mint and snappy red plum aromas. The palate is tight and punchy, with minty, toasty berry fruit and bitter chocolate flavors. Grabby and acidic on the finish.
— M.S.
