Robust up front, with bacony aromas mixed with leather, violet, pickle and blackberry. The palate is crisp and racy, with a fresh, acic-driven profile that’s dotted with raspberry and blackberry. Has its share of flare but also some heat and unabsorbed acidity. 1 Note

A well-made Malbec that should please almost any fan of red wine. The nose is concentrated and full of black fruit, so it delivers what you’d expect. The mouthfeel is balanced, with medium weight and easy tannins. Black-fruit tastes of all types make for a solid flavor profile, and the finish offers mocha and cleansing acidity. A rock-solid wine for beef and pastas. 1 Note

Floral and fruity to open the show, and then there’s plenty of oak and resin aromas coming next. The palate is tight, acid rich and woody, with solid black fruit flavors along with toasted oak notes and coconut. Juicy, fresh and healthy, but quite oaky. 1 Note

Big and black, with aromas of tar, blackberry and black olive. The palate, however, is snappy and pleasantly fresh, with lively cherry, raspberry and plum flavors. Tight, balanced, competent and nice, with a smear of chocolate on the finish. 1 Note

Warm and complete, with oak-influenced char and licorice along with black fruits on the bouquet. An elegant Uco Valley specimen with refined, full-force flavors of cola, blackberry, tobacco and chocolate. Turns more complex and satisfying on the finish. Drink this high-quality value now through 2013. A blend of Malbec at 50%, with Cabernet, Petit Verdot and Syrah. 1 Note

Basso’s premium blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Syrah and Merlot is an example of good fruit meeting good winemaking. With leather and brick dust accenting black-fruit aromas, the bouquet is positive. And the flavors of plum, blackberry, soy sauce and cola are very nice. A breakout wine for this winery. 1 Note
