Undurraga 2011 Sibaris Reserva Especial Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley)
- $16
Composed, correct and minerally on the nose, this wine has typical and attractive pungent-green aromas. It feels zesty and crisp, with cutting acidity in support of grassy, classically Leyda flavors of lime, grapefruit and lemongrass. It’s angular but long on the finish.

Undurraga 2008 Sibaris Reserva Especial Chardonnay (Maipo Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A huge improvement from the overoaked, flawed 2007 Sibaris. This is still toasty and resiny like most Chilean Chards, but it’s also smooth and thorough in the mouth, with orange, melon, vanilla and toast flavors. Unfolds nicely on the finish; very good for Maipo Chardonnay and, as stated, a far more balanced wine than the previous vintage.

Undurraga 2007 Sibaris Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- $15
Smoky and crusty on the nose, but not that deep or dark in the mouth. The emphasis is on red fruits, freshness and pop, while the flavors are zesty and lean toward red cherry and red plum, with a spicy accent. Pepper and more spice work the finish.

Undurraga 2010 Sibaris Reserva Especial Chardonnay (Maipo Valley)
- $16
Toasty, inviting aromas of apple and melon lead to a balanced palate with layered flavors of resiny oak, pear and peach. The finish continues with resin and oak, but by then it has already established itself as a well-balanced wine, with tasty flavors of white and tropical fruit.

Undurraga 2010 Sibaris Reserva Especial Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
- $16
This wine’s bouquet is peppery, meaty, spicy and altogether honest. The palate feels frisky and juicy, not heavy or flat, then tastes of char, black coffee, cola and spiced, herb-tinged berry. The finish is long, toasty and snappy.

Undurraga 2011 Sibaris Reserva Especial Chardonnay (Maipo Valley)
- $16
This medium-weight Chard is fresh and mildly dusty smelling, with aromas of pear and apple. The palate is lifted, fresh in feel and offers punchy acidity in front of lime, gooseberry and herb flavors. For under $20, this is nicely made and hints at elegance.

Undurraga 2008 Sibaris Reserva Especial Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Ultra-fresh and snappy, but a little light and neutral when it comes to fruit character. The palate is totally spunky and alive, with bouncy but mild flavors of lime, white grapefruit and orange. Clean and likable, with good focus but only medium-level intensity and power. Drink now.

Undurraga 2008 Sibaris Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- $16
A little murky and muddled on the nose, this has an earthy-berry aroma, with a hint of floral-based perfume. It offers acidity and solidity on the palate, which is backed by standard black-fruit flavors, with undertones of vanilla and raw oak. Very good, but it’s a bit oaky.
