Cafayete is not Mendoza, nor does this wine taste like a Mendoza wine. It’s aromatic and racy, with sharp acids and a piercing mouthfeel. Sour cherry and cassis flavors dominate, while a hint of enrichening blueberry sweetens things up. 1 Note

Aromas of sweet melon and honey suggest an innocuous quality that’s confirmed on the palate, where basic apple and pear flavors come across a bit sweet. Finishes with some scour and a little harshness. 1 Note

Earthy and mildly lactic on the nose, with tight, lean, herbal flavors. Doesn’t rise above mediocre. 1 Note

A fleshy wine with aromas of wet clay and earth. It seems a little hot and herbal at its foundation, but around the edges there are flavors of cherry and raspberry. The feel is chunky and innocuous, with mild tannins. 1 Note

Light and tea-like, with sour berry flavors and a hint of pickle; the feel is lean and scratchy. 1 Note

Light, floral and somewhat out of the mold. Flavors of apricot, peach and mango are both fresh and fleshy, while the finish lingers for quite some time. Fairly forceful but restrained enough. 1 Note

Given the dearth of good Argentinean rosés on the market, this one from Cafayate (based on Malbec) is pretty tasty, balanced and interesting. The nose is succulent and not offputting, while the palate shows fresh red apple, cherry and length to the finish. Not complicated but racy and clean. 1 Note

Shows an unsual (Salta) pine and herbal nose with earth, and the flavors are a weird but not necessarily offputting blend of herbal berry fruit, savory spice, baked accents and even citrus. A fringe Cabernet for fans of Argentina. 1 Note
