Viña Litoral 2008 Ventolera Pinot Noir (Leyda Valley)
- $32
Nice Pinot, with light tomato, mint, lemon peel and red plum aromas. The palate is dry and refreshing, with purity and citrusy raspberry/cherry flavors. Shows more weight and stuffing toward the finish, but stays narrow in terms of flavor. One of Chile’s most expensive Pinot Noirs.

Viña Litoral 2008 Ventolera Chardonnay (Leyda Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Initial aromas of corn chips and banana mix in toast and vanilla. The palate is more direct and fruity, with baked apple and lemony flavors sharing time with sweet, resiny oak. Vanilla and later bitterness carry the finish. A wine that shows better in the mouth than on the nose.

Viña Litoral 2009 Ventolera Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
So lean, green and austere that it’s almost a ghost. The nose is kind of vegetal more than fruity, while the acidity is so staunch that it penetrates the tongue membrane and sizzles a bit. Flavors of lime and sour apple lead to an acidic, tart finish. Needs more than just crispness.
