The red wines begin with the medium ruby-colored 2007 Pinot Noir EQ. It offers up a captivating nose of smoke, rose petals, black cherry, and black raspberry. Round and smooth on the palate with excellent grip, this first-class Pinot will provide enjoyment through 2017. The nature of Chile’s wine industry mitigates against small, boutique wineries. One of the few that comes close to qualifying is the biodynamically farmed Matetic winery. It is a brilliantly run winery whose youthful vineyards will only get better with the passage of time.Importer: F.P.D. Inc., Hialeah, FL; www.fpd.com

Alluring, with warm cherry compote and blackberry notes backed by a silky texture and a long, spice- and licorice-tinged finish. This has nice grip. Drink now through 2010. 2,075 cases made.??–JM??Region: Chile / San Antonio Select to Add

More grassy, stemmy and green than ideal, with a heavy, syrupy mouthfeel and thick, herbal berry fruit flavors. It’s a minty, leafy tasting wine but also one that’s dark and full-bodied, with core sweetness. Needs more work and clarity. ——M.S.(12/31/2010)—— 85
