Undurraga 2007 Altazor Red (Maipo Valley)
-
$60
A big, syrupy five-grape blend that delivers the full allotment of baked, ripe berry aromas followed by a firm, tannic palate housing serious flavors of blackberry, eucalyptus, olive and mineral. Very long and layered on the finish, with acidic zest to keep it pulsing. Drink now through 2015.

Undurraga 2008 T.H. Lo Abarca Sauvignon Blanc (San Antonio)
-
$22
This is what you want from Chile. The bouquet of green apple, lime, mineral, sea air and controlled sweetness is impressive while not being forceful. Flavors of citrus, pineapple and green herbs are live-wire, while the feel is stimulating and spritzy. With a juicy finish and tons of zest,this is a lovely, true wine that reflects its coastal San Antonio origins.

Undurraga 1999 Altazor Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
-
$46
The debut vintage, and already sold out, according to Undurraga. It’s inky in color, with earthy scents complemented by cassis and mint. The chewy texture is silky as well, finishing with firm tannins and juicy acids. The next vintage will be the 2001, which should be more available, as 1,000 cases were produced.

Undurraga 2009 T.H. Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley)
-
$17
Solid, crisp and consistent with the previous vintage. Undurraga’s T.H. from Leyda is a Sauvignon Blanc made in the oceanic, cool-climate style. It’s stripped of all fat and weight; instead, it hits with tangerine, orange and a bit of green. A nice example of a streamlined, fit white wine.
