Expensive by South American standards, but at least it’s no imposter. This is high-class Chardonnay with toast, apple and quince aromas. The palate runs a little sweet, but it has the acidity, smoke and wood tannins to keep it focused. Quality from head to toe puts this in the top decile for Argentina. But is it worth $39? 280 cases made.

Urraca is a new wine from John Langley, a Hollywood producer. This is the winery’s top product, and it’s an excellent four-grape blend that offers exotic, nuanced aromas of spice, sandalwood and floral fruit. The palate is round on the outside but a little short in the middle. Still, its flavors of plum, raisin, licorice and herbs are refined and regal. Good acidity and zest indicate that this one will last for several years, maybe more. Imported by Agrelo Imports.

A different style of Mendoza Malbec (with 30% Merlot), and for the most part it’s intriguing and satisfying. For starters, the bouquet is a true bouquet: there’s funky spice, cinnamon stick and floral fruit aromas. The palate has some snap and acidic sharpness, but also good blackberry essence. Finishes smoother than up front, with woodspice and pepper coming on strong. Drink now through 2010.
