Vistamar 2010 Late Harvest Moscatel (Limarí Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
Sweet and tropical on the nose, with lychee and melon aromas that are like a nice air freshener. The palate has a good, clean feel to it and flush, sweet flavors of ripe nectarine, lychee and melon. Tame and not too thick, cloying or grabby on the finish.
— M.S.

Vistamar 2008 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Maipo Valley)
- $20
Dark and deep up front, with cola, menthol, berry and leather aromas. The mouth is clacky and fiery, with lively flavors of cassis, black cherry, mint and spice. Shows some roughness and heat in front of a full and long finish with tobacco and vanilla.

Vistamar 2007 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Maipo Valley)
- $20
Berry, hickory and milk chocolate aromas yield smoky darkness with candied sweetness. The palate is staunch, but those chocolate and berry flavors hinted at up front reappear and finish in medicinal fashion. A sweet and creamy wine but also one that’s hard and tannic. 70% Cab with 30% Syrah.

Vistamar 2009 Sepia Reserva Carmenère (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
Slightly green, like almost all basic Carmenères, but there’s also spice and depth to the nose and blackberry aromas. Tight and saturated in the mouth, with weight, darkness and concentrated flavors of sweet blackberry and chocolate. Finishes hard and narrow. Contains 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Vistamar 2009 Sepia Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
Spicy and dry on the nose, with red cherry, plum and candied sweetness. The palate has good body and feel, with medicinal plum and berry flavors along with an olive accent. Juicy and forward, with a lightly herbal finish.

Vistamar 2010 Sepia Reserva Pinot Noir (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Spicy and dry smelling, with red fruit aromas and a hint of prickle and brine to the nose. Smooth in the mouth and full through the midpalate as plum and red berry flavors blend with herbal notes. Mellow and full on the finish. Good value.

Vistamar 2010 Sepia Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
Mildly tropical on the nose and pleasant overall, with a touch of match stick to the bouquet. The palate is lemony and sheer, with flavors of Meyer lemon, white peach and apple. Pointed on the finish but clean. Good but normal in the scheme of things.
— M.S.

Vistamar 2006 Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Maipo Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Oaky stuff, with sawdust, roasted fruit and dark, floral berry aromas. The palate is surprisingly high in acidity and choppy, but lumbering oak adds some heft to the berry fruit and cola flavors that lead the charge. A bit smacking and medicinal, and herbal to boot.
— M.S.
