A Chilean friar introduced wine into Argentina via a single cutting in the mid-16th century, and today Argentina is one of the world's largest wine-producing countries. Primarily an arid landscape, it profits from irrigation sourced in mountain rivers and from Andean snowmelt. While the warmer inland region encourages vine growth down the entire length of the country, the Mendoza region is responsible for producing over 70% of total wine production in Argentina. The signature grape is the Malbec, although More

List $15.00

90+ points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$15 list] Susana Balbo is very high on Mendoza’s 2009 vintage, calling it a 'fantastic year'. The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon spent 5 months in seasoned French and American oak. It is purple-colored with a classy nose of cigar box, cassis, black currant, and violets. Medium-to full bodied, it has excellent depth, savory flavors, ripe tannin for balance, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. It will evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now and over the next 4-5 years. (Aug 2009)"

89 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "[$15 list] Bright red-ruby. Aromas and flavors of ripe currant, leather, smoke, baker's chocolate and dried herbs. Smooth, lush and ripe; a satisfying, seamless cabernet with fine-grained dusty tannins and nice length. This punches above its weight class. (Jan/Feb 2011)"

IWC 89

In stock, 12+ available

List $20.00

90 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$20 list] The 2010 Malbec contains 10% Bonarda in its makeup and received the same elevage as the Cabernet. Lovely aromas of black cherry, spice box, tobacco, lavender, and earthy minerals inform the nose of a ripe, succulent, intensely flavored wine that offers outstanding value and is meant for drinking over the next 5-7 years. (Dec 2011)"

89 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright ruby-red. Licorice and exotic oak dominate the nose. Juicy and quite oaky, with chocolate, coffee bean and smoke flavors currently overshadowing the wine's fruit. Finishes dry and a tad medicinal, with firm tannins. (Mar/Apr 2012)"

Dominio del Plata Syrah/Bonarda Mendoza Crios de Susana Balbo 2008 (307451)

750ml

WA 88

IWC 87

In stock, 12+ available

List $15.00

88 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$15 list] Smoke, earth, meat, game; slightly lean, savory, good flavors, balanced. (Oct 2010)"

87 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "($15 list; a 50/50 blend) Bright ruby-red. Ripe aromas of smoke and licorice. Offers good texture but comes off as a bit dry and rustic, with flavors of currant, chocolate and smoke and serious, slightly drying tannins... (Jan/Feb 2010)"

Producer notes: "Dark reddish/purple color. Intense aroma of black raspberries. This medium-bodied, very lively wine has loads of ripe red plum and black raspberry flavors with a slightly spicy character and a long, juicy finish. It's a winner both before and during a meal. Certainly enjoyable in its youth, but will age beautifully. A fun wine to try with a wide range of red wine-friendly foods, and one that will delight even the most pretentious connoisseur."

Dominio del Plata Torrontés Crios de Susana Balbo Mendoza 2011 (312771)

750ml

$13.95

IWC 90

WA 90

In stock, 12+ available

90 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Pale yellow. Sexy, slightly exotic aromas of wild herbs, flowers, licorice, mint and spices. Juicy, saline and dry, with a subtly tactile mouth feel to the flavors of lemon verbena, lavender and botanical herbs. There's an enticing dusty impression of soil here but plenty of sweet citrus fruits too. Savory and serious but there's nothing austere about it. An outstanding example of Argentina's distinctive torrontes, which makes a perfect aperitif. (Jan 2012)"

90 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "The 2011 Torrontes offers up enticing aromas of peach, melon, floral, and tropical fruit. Medium-bodied, dry, savory, and nicely proportioned, this lengthy effort will deliver plenty of enjoyment over the next 1-2 years. (Dec 2011)"

Producer notes: "Crios means 'offspring' and refers to both my children and my label of wines that display loveable fruit flavors and excellent balance. Torrontes is an aromatic wine grape unique to Argentina. It combines an intensely floral, citrusy aroma similar to Viognier with the dry, crisp taste of Sauvignon Blanc. This surprising combination makes it great to enjoy while making dinner, with cheese and snacks, with seafood and spicy Asian food, or all by itself on a warm evening. And there's no oak here, just a lot of motherly attention." - Susana Balbo

91 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "The 2009 Malbec Gran Reserva was sourced from 103 year old vines and aged for 12 months in new French oak. Smoky oak, game, lavender, black cherry, and blueberry inform the nose of a layered, plush, flavorful wine with superb volume and length for its modest price. It has enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years and will provide enjoyment through 2019. (Dec 2011)"

89 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright ruby. Reticent but pure aromas of blueberry, dark chocolate and spices. Creamy, seamless and round, with a restrained sweetness and good freshness to its dark raspberry and blackberry flavors. Has just enough acidity to maintain its shape. Finishes with ripe tannins and very good length. Use this excellent value as a stand-in for a polished Cotes du Rhone. (Oct 2011)"

Kaiken Corte Malbec-Bonarda-Petit Verdot Mendoza 2008 (310600)

750ml

$11.95

WS 87

In stock, 12+ available

List $18.00

87 points Wine Spectator: "[$18 list] Shows a mix of violet, pastis and ripe boysenberry fruit, backed by ample spice and toast. The fleshy finish lets the toasty edge hang on. Malbec, Bonarda and Petit Verdot. Drink now. (12/31/10)"

Producer notes: "80% Malbec, 12% Bonarda, 8% Petit Verdot. This blend presents a violet red color with shades of purple. At first the classic floral aromas of Malbec fill the nose, to be latter enhanced by notes of red fruits, such as strawberries, typical of the Bonarda variety. On the palate, it has the trademark Malbec silkiness, buoyed by the structure and depth of Petit Verdot. This wine achieves a unique combination where Bonarda and Petit Verdot add freshness and structure to a foundation composed of our renowned and beloved Malbec. A unique wine with a persistent and long finish. Its tannic structure and complex nose makes it a perfect choice to accompany beef and stews."

IWC 89

In stock, 12+ available

List $19.00

90 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$19 list] The 2010 Malbec Pizzella Family Vineyard also spent 14 months in 25% new French oak. Earthy minerals, spice box, tobacco, lavender, and black cherry compose the nose of this elegant, nicely proportioned, lengthy red that also offers outstanding value. It will provide considerable pleasure over the next 5-6 years. (Dec 2011)"

89 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Red-ruby. Reticent but pure aromas of cassis and chocolate; at once very ripe and lightly medicinal. Sweet, fat and broad on the palate, with a lightly saline character to the raspberry, blackberry and chocolate flavors. Dense, chewy wine with a ripely tannic and rather oaky finish. (Mar/Apr 2012)"

La Yunta Torrontés Famatina Valley La Rioja 2011 (314715)

750ml

$8.95

WA 87

In stock, 12+ available

87 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$11 list] La Yunta’s 2011 Torrontes is a refined expression of this increasingly popular varietal. Fragrant notes of spring flowers and tropical fruits lead to a supple, flavorful, dry wine with just enough acidity for balance. Drink this solid value over the next 12-18 months. (Dec 2011)"

Producer notes: "Notably aromatic of green melon and white peach. It has balanced citrus flavor with a touch of French oak to provide a crisp yet lingering finish. Wonderful as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to seafood or poultry. Alcohol 12.5%."

Luca Chardonnay Tupungato Mendoza G Lot 2009 (314095)

$28.95

WA 92

IWC 91

In stock, 12+ available

92 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "The new releases include one white wine, the 2009 Chardonnay, always an outstanding value. It was barrel-fermented, went through full malolactic fermentation, and was aged sur lie for 14 months in 30% new French oak. Aromas of buttered popcorn, poached pear, and spiced apple inform the nose of a creamy-textured, spicy, ripe, medium-bodied wine. This nicely proportioned, lengthy effort will provide enjoyment over the next 4-5 years. (Dec 2011)"

91 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright light yellow. Aromas of peach, apricot, nutmeg and flowers, complemented by oaky nuances (30% new). Fat, rich and sweet but with solid balancing acidity. A full-throttle fruit bomb with impressive depth and 3D texture, from a Gualtallary vineyard planted at 4,700 feet. The pH here is a very reasonable 3.2 in spite of the vines' long hang and a hint of botrytis. (Mar/Apr 2012)"

WA 93

IWC 91

In stock, 12+ available

93 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "The 2010 Malbec (100%) was sourced from 46-year-old vines and spent 16 months in 60% new French oak. It offers up an inviting nose of exotic spices, incense, cherry cola, wood smoke, and black cherry. On the palate it opens to reveal a plush, moderately structured Malbec that will benefit from another 2-3 years of bottle age. Drink this lengthy, seamless effort from 2013 to 2022. (Dec 2011)"

91 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good ruby-red. Crushed dark berries and chocolatey oak on the nose, lifted by a mineral element. Sweet, velvety and inviting, with harmonious acidity and underlying minerality enlivening the dark berry, coffee bean and chocolate flavors. Very rich and sweet without being too much. Still, I'd drink this very showy wine on the young side. (Mar/Apr 2012)"

Producer notes: "From 70-year-old vines. Deep violet color, with aromas of cherries and ripe plums. Spiced, with notes of mocha and blackberries. Elegantly sweet. Delicate perfume and elegant structure. Aging potential: 8 years."

88 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright medium red. Aromas and flavors of redcurrant, cherry, spiced plum, menthol and smoky oak reminded me a bit of pinot noir. Juicy and pure in the mouth, with good cut and intensity and subtle floral perfume. Tangy, moderately intense malbec with harmonious acidity and easygoing tannins. On the light side and very easy to drink. (Mar/Apr 2012)"

87 points Wine Spectator: "[$21 list] This medium-bodied red offers subtle depth to the bright berry and plum fruit, as hints of spice and grilled herb linger in the finish. Drink now. (2012)"

89 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright full red. Sexy red berries, musky coffee, chocolate and spices on the slightly reduced nose. Suave and fine-grained, with an attractive sweetness to the red berry and sexy oak flavors. Round, dry and sophisticated wine, finishing with smooth, fine tannins and lingering herbal complexity. (Jan/Feb 2011)"

88 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$21 list] The 2008 Malbec Reserva spent 12 months in a mix of new and used French oak. Cedar, Asian spices, incense, red licorice, and black cherry notes are followed by a ripe, forward, flavorful Malbec that has enough structure and balance to drink well for another 5-6 years. It, too, is a very good value. (Dec 2011)"

750ml

W&S 89

In stock, 12+ available

89 points and 'Best Buy,' Wine & Spirits: "A blend of 70 percent malbec with corvina, this is made in the style of a ripasso. In spite of the warmth of its alcohol, it feels refreshing, the acidity like a beacon illuminating the red fruit flavor. For veal slow-braised with sweet spices. (Feb 2012)"

Producer notes: "70% Malbec, 30% semi-dried Corvina. A deep-coloured red with violet notes. A decisive bouquet of ripe, jammy fruits, especially prune, with a further suggestion of licorice. Great structure immediately on the palate with a well maintained acidity, nicely balanced by decisive and lively tannins. The generous nose makes for a pleasantly dry finish. The technique used here is Masi’s speciality: double fermentation. After soft pressing of the Malbec grapes, on-skin fermentation lasted 16 days in stainless steel tanks at a constant 23-27°C. The second fermentation was induced with selected yeasts and used 30% of whole Corvina grapes given a brief appassimento treatment before pressing. 13.5% alcohol."

Greenish yellow in color. The nose is complex and combines a blend of citrus fruits (such as pink grapefruit and lime) with white peach and notes of hay. On the palate, a good entry of fresh fruit, well-balanced with a clean finish.

It feels full, round and just right, with dark berry, spice and licorice flavors playing off one another. It's sweet, ripe, dense, and a touch woody on the finish; drink now-2014. Alcohol 14.5%. (Aug 2012)"

89 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$18 list] The 2009 Reserve Malbec spent 12 months in first and second use French oak. Expressive aromas of sandalwood, exotic spices, mocha, cherry cola, and assorted black fruits lead to an elegantly styled, nicely proportioned, plush Malbec that will perform optimally from 2013 to 2021. It, too, is an excellent value. (Dec 2011)"

89 points Wine Spectator: "[$18 list] Polished and supple, with fine tannins framing the rich kirsch, plum sauce and cassis notes, supported by a firm yet creamy frame, with hints of mocha and spice. Drink now. (8/31/12)"

92 points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "The 2009 Amorio is 100% Malbec sourced from an ungrafted 43-year-old vineyard and aged for 16 months in 60% new French oak before bottling without fining or filtration (as are all of these wines). Purple-colored with legs that coat the glass, it exhibits an expressive nose of balsam wood, smoke, spice box, lavender, and black cherry. This leads to a medium-bodied, elegant style of Malbec with plenty of savory fruit and incipient complexity. Give this lengthy offering 2-3 years of additional cellaring and drink it from 2012 to 2024. (Dec 2010)"

90 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "[$35 list] Good deep full ruby. Very expressive aromas of blueberry, violet, menthol, graphite and dark chocolate. In a rather extractive, hedonistic style, perhaps a tad roasted but offering sweet, sexy, high-toned flavors of cola, sassafras and violet. Finishes supple, sweet and long, with very fine-grained tannins. (Jan/Feb 2011)"

A glass-coating opaque purple color, it sports an enticing nose of Asian spices, incense, lavender, plum, and blueberry. In the glass it opens to reveal a ripe, plush, savory wine with no hard edges. Drink this well-balanced, lengthy wine over the next 5-6 years. It is also an outstanding value. (Dec 2011)"

91 points and 'Best Buy,' Wine & Spirits: "[$20 list] While bonarda (60 percent of the blend) packs this with ripe red fruit, malbec adds the tension of acidity and enough firmness to match butifarra or other sausages. (Feb 2012)"
