- Bodegas Monteviejo Malbec Festivo 2011 Product #26770 (In Stock)
-
-
A lot more going on in this terrific value Malbec than the price suggests. Monteviejo is owned by the folks at Bordeaux's Ch Le Gay and the wines are made by up-and-commer (and former rock musician) Marcelo Pelleriti - and the combination is turning out some great wines even at this price level. Very ripe aromas and flavors of plum and black cherry get complexity from oak spice and notes of fresh earth. A bit of violet perfume adds to the party in this juicy, fun, red for burgers, chicken, or just sipping.
- Bodega Benegas Malbec Juan Benegas 2010 Product #26581 (In Stock)
-
-
This little gem WAY over delivers for its modest price. Winegrower/maker Federico Benegas Lynch is a master of getting perfectly ripe fruit from his old-vine vineyards and, with help from master consultant Michel Rolland, turning out honest wines of great depth and character. Here you'll find a fun, fruity, wine with earthy blackberry, blueberry, spice and coffee aromas and flavors. An iron ore minerality adds complexity and the round tannins and bright acids just the right support. It's fruitier and not quite as complex as Frederico's Estate Malbec, but just perfect for parties or pairing with everyday meals.
- Dona Silvina Malbec Fresh Mendoza 2012 Product #27117 (In Stock)
-
-
A different take on Malbec, one that’s perfect for sipping on warm afternoons and enjoying with all kinds of Springtime fare. Early harvested fruit (to retain acidity) and fermented in tank (for maximum fruitiness), this shows off juicy red plum and cherry flavors with a nice floral and herbal touch. Mouthwatering and tangy, drink it cool and watch it disappear!
- Belasco De Baquedando Llama Malbec 2011 Product #25969 (In Stock)
-
-
Made from the grapes of 102 year old vines planted in the foothills of the Andes. Aged six months in French oak barrels, Llama is a rich ruby-purple color, and boasts elegant flavors of black berries, ripe plum and robust spices with good balance and structure. Surprising depth of flavor and length in a Mendoza Malbec at this price and very pretty, soft, tannins.
- Angulo Innocenti Cabernet Sauvignon La Consulta 2011 Product #27168 (In Stock)
-
-
No question: this is less "serious" than Mariano Innocenti's 2011 Malbec, but, boy, is it fun to drink! Fresh, generous, aromas of currant, herb and spice mingle with notes of blackberry and tangy cherry in the mouth. A licorice root note gives this a little complexity, but not too much - this juicy, clean, and bright Cabernet is meant to enjoy with friends and a nice, fresh, burger.
"Lively aromas of cassis, black cherry, minerals and licorice. Supple on entry, then fine-grained and a bit less pliant in the middle, with dark berry and licorice flavors enlivened by minerality. Finishes firmly tannic but not dry or hard." International Wine Cellar 88 points
- Angulo Innocenti Malbec La Consulta 2011 Product #27169 (In Stock)

In just his second vintage, Mariano Innocenti has hit a home run, turning out a Malbec that combines everything we love about this grape in one delicious (and great value) bottle. The aromas are dark, even a bit brooding, at first with building aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and mocha. Then ripe, bright, and juicy on the palate with boatloads of gorgeous blackberry, black plum, and currant fruit accented by notes of spice, mineral, and berry blossom. Stays vibrant and juicy on the bright, clean, finish with currant and cherry flavors lingering nicely. Aging half the wine in used oak barrels allowed this to open up without gaining any heavy oak accents and leaves it perfectly positioned for anything from steaks on the grill to party sipping.
"Inky yet superfresh, with floral and spice accents to the chewy plum skin, raspberry and blueberry coulis fruit. Drink now through 2016."Wine Spectator 91 points
- Bodega Benegas Malbec Estate 2010 Product #26475 (In Stock)
-
-
Here's what Mendoza Malbec is all about. From organic vineyards and older vines, this opens with a pure perfume of plum and raspberry fruit with floral and spice accents. Round and complexly textured and flavored in the mouth, the fruit stays in the front with accents of stone, coffee, and cocoa. Long and lingering finish over the sweet, ripe, tannins. Excellent value.
- Felino Vina Cobos (Paul Hobbs) Cabernet Sauvingon 2011 Product #26233 (In Stock)
-
-
As Wine Advocate says, Paul Hobbs’s “Felino label has for a number of years been synonymous with value.” Another fine vintage for this big, lush, Argentine Cabernet that’s jam-packed with black fruit, chocolate, spice, and tobacco aromas and flavors. Lush and plush and nicely concentrated, this is great with a steak or just to sip.
- Bodega Noemia Malbec A Lisa Patagonia 2011 Product #27032 (In Stock)
-
-
More to Malbec than Mendoza! From the cooler Pategonia region, this shows classic Malbec flavors with vibrant, almost nervy, acidity. Delicious.
"Inviting aromas of blackberry, currant, plum, coffee and mocha, with a slightly liqueur-like quality. The palate offers excellent cut and precision, with a hint of wildness to the dark berry flavors. Real Patagonia acidity here to carry the fruit. Finishes with dusty, fine-grained tannins and excellent lift."International Wine Cellar 90 points
"A racy red, with an earthy undertow to fresh crushed raspberry, boysenberry and currant fruit that remains light on its feet, with a long, floral finish. Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2016."Wine Spectator 91 points
- Bodegas Monteviejo Gran Monteviejo 2007 Product #26843 (In Stock)
-
-
Here, Malbec is firmly on center stage (70% of the blend) with Syrah giving a meaty note and Merlot a touch more perfume and tannin. Bigger, bolder, and more complex than the Petite Fleur, this wants grilled or roasted lamb or beef right now and will gain even more complexity and meaty, smoky, character over the next few years. A winner.
“Bright saturated ruby. Cassis, black raspberry and sweet mocha oak on the nose. Lush and supple on entry, then concentrated and bound-up in the mid-palate, with a medicinal cast to the black cherry, licorice and chocolatey oak flavors. Finishes with substantial, broad tannins that coat the teeth.”International Wine Cellar 90 points
“The 2007 Gran Monteviejo is composed of 70% Malbec, 20% Syrah, and 10% Merlot. Deep purple in color, it displays a nose of pain grille, pencil lead, roasted black fruits, violets, and exotic spices. This leads to an elegant wine with already complex flavors, exceptional concentration, and 2-3 years of aging potential. This impeccably balanced, pleasure-bent effort will be at its peak from 2012 to 2023.”Wine Advocate 92 points
