Yali 2007 Winemaker's Selection Sauvignon Blanc (Rapel Valley)
- Best Buy
- $10
The Best Buy parade for Chilean Sauvignon Blanc is bolstered by this pure, stable ’07. The nose deals hints of melon, vanilla bean and lime, although it’s mostly neutral. Flavors of green apple, citrus and so forth are familiar, while the feel and finish are smooth, comfortable and just deep enough. Drink now.

Yali 2008 Wetland Winemaker's Selection Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère (Colchagua Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Slightly gritty and baked at first, with a marshmallow-like sweetness on the nose. Turns more tarry and dark with air, and after that come flavors of cassis and black cherry. Shows solid freshness and a smooth, mildly herbal finish. Good wine overall.

Yali 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley)
- Best Buy
- $6
Cassis, cherry and plum fruit gets a boost from the leathery, mouth coating tannins, while ancillary notes of vanilla, tomato and chocolate stir interest. Among basic Cabs, this is a good one.

Yali 2010 Wetland Winemaker's Selection Sauvignon Blanc (Rapel Valley)
- Best Buy
- $8
Salinic and also melony on the mostly clean and crisp nose. The palate is healthy, with round, lightly pithy flavors of green melon, peach and kiwi. Citrusy on the finish and a little green on the fade out. Good for summer quaffing. Drink this year.

Yali 2011 Wetland Winemaker’s Selection Sauvignon Blanc (Lolol Valley)
- Best Buy
- $8
A middle-tier wine that’s honest and good for the money. Smells of spunky citrus fruit and vanilla, then offers a tight, minerally palate with a mix of white peach, lemon and lime flavors. Crisp and quick on the finish, with a lemony aftertaste.

Yali 2002 Chardonnay (Rapel Valley)
- Best Buy
- $6
Soft honeysuckle, pear and apple aromas are nice enough, and the mouth is fairly full, with zesty fruit supported by oak that turns a bit coconutty. Tasty and fleshy.

Yali 2009 Wetland Winemaker's Selection Sauvignon Blanc (Rapel Valley)
- Best Buy
- $8
Opens with honest green notes of gooseberry, lime and sea foam, and while the palate is a touch soft in texture, it has true Chilean SB flavors of bell pepper, fresh lettuce and melon. Sturdy on the finish, with a forward attitude.

Yali 2008 Winemaker's Selection Sauvignon Blanc (Rapel Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Easygoing on the nose, with light melon and green-fruit aromas. Yet it’s crisp in the mouth, but sort of choppy and tart as well. The wine is refreshing but short and linear, as if some of the pulp and power were siphoned off. What’s left is fresh and lasting, but a little weak in flavor.
— M.S.
