Dormant and a bit chemical on the nose, with rubbery fruit and a lean body. Woody and borderline hot on the finish.

Having tasted this wine for three vintages, we are not big fans. This version is stemmy and mildly sharp, with tight, tannic red plum, raspberry and cranberry flavors. Oaky and mildly bitter late. Skims the surface but that’s it.

Here’s a nice wine that pushes the right buttons while not raising any red flags. Raspberry and vanilla flavors are solid and pleasing, while the medium-weight palate features depth and balance. This is not the richest, most overpowering Malbec you’ll find, but it comes from 75-year-old vines and its virtues far outdistance its faults.

Peachy aromas are friendly, while the palate has a good feel to it along with green flavors of melon, lime and fresh veggies. Finishes with fruit, dryness and a touch of bitterness, yet in the end it fails to deliver on the promise of the bouquet.

Light strawberry and raspberry aromas offer proof of life and freshness. The palate is solid and lively, with mild citrus and light red fruit for flavor. Shows a bit of sugary cloy, but it’s not bad for Argentine rosé.

Smells sweet and gummy, like a plum-flavored sucking candy or a piece of grape bubblegum. The palate is a bit punishing and hard, while wild blackberry, acidity and finishing oak make up the flavors. Lively but untamed.

Red in color, with neutral aromas of red apple skins. The palate is sticky and weighty, and the taste is akin to fruit punch with tangerine on the side. Tastes o.k. but is too full, chunky and heavy to be refreshing

Nail polish on the nose along with clay will have you wondering. The palate on this organic wine is also a bit shaky; rubbery cherry and raspberry flavors are lean and the aftertaste is fiery. Too unusual and challenging.

Dusty cherry and raspberry aromas give this wine a clean, inviting opening. The palate is a touch clacky due to choppy tannins, but the flavors of red cherry, plum and red licorice, while narrow in scope, are perfectly nice and tasty. Sort of generic but a good blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Purple, smoky and dense but beyond that it’s regular. The palate is racy and medium deep, but the flavors are more superficial than interesting. Finishes quick, with coffee and bitter chocolate flavors.
