Bold and earthy wine, with aromas of fine rubber, balsam wood, forest floor, spice and ripe black fruit. It’s thick as it rolls over the palate, and the wild berry, herb and pepper flavors fit the wine’s physique and profile. Long and fairly deep on the finish; drink now through 2011.

The nose offers a fine mix of floral berry, dusty earth and classic Malbec richness, while the palate is juicy, balanced and tastes of cassis, blackberry, fresh plum, cracked pepper and baking spices. Full and long on the finish, and overall it’s right where you want it to be. Drink now through 2011.

Given that the number of good Argentine PGs can be counted on one hand, this one distinguishes itself. The nose is a touch sweaty and prickly, but the fresh palate, sporty acidity and solid flavors of lime, tangerine and nectarine are nice. Drink now.

With a nutty nose of popcorn, baked apple and almonds, this is a classy wine that avoids the all-too-frequent dead weight that mars the majority of Argentina’s white wines, especially Chardonnay. Juicy and tastes of pineapple, mango, banana and vanilla. Not mealy or chunky; handles its oak and warm-weather pedigree well.

Foxy and jumpy smelling at first, with brambly raspberry aromas. The palate feels heavy and baked, with grabby tannins in support of herbal, mildly weedy berry fruit flavors. Finishes saucy, with a hint of tomato. Not pure and focused like the La Flor Malbec.

Very impressive for a blend of Malbec, Cabernet and Merlot. Starts with a rich, bacony nose that brings cassis and blackberry, while the palate is saturated, big and layered, with wild raspberry, chocolate and spice flavors. It touches all the bases while maintaining a rich, almost syrupy mouthfeel. Drink now through 2014.
