Bodega Renacer 2003 Renacer R Malbec (Perdriel)
- $48
Dynamite Malbec from the Renacer family that’s behind the emerging Punto Final label. This is a monumental effort with 24 months of French oak aging. What you get is quality from head to toe, with pure and unyielding flavors backed by a big wave of tannins. Will age for several more years, and by then this rock’s power may have settled down a little. 275 cases produced.

Bodega Renacer 2004 Punto Final Reserva Malbec (Perdriel)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
Charcoal and ripe berry fruit announce this as a serious, masculine Malbec. The palate answers the bell, delivering tight blackberry and cassis flavors in front of a tannic, sturdy finish. Shows great foundation and potential; best in late 2007 into 2008.

Bodega Renacer 2006 Renacer R Malbec (Perdriel)
- Editors' Choice
- $55
Among full-bodied, old-vines Malbec, this is an unbridled winner. The nose is rooty and sweet, but also inky and dark. And the palate is totally pure, with snappy tannins, fine acidity and loads of black fruit flavor mixed with tobacco and coconut. Racy, juicy and delicious as it enters its prime. Drink now through 2013.

Bodega Renacer 2008 Renacer R Malbec (Mendoza)
- $65
Dense blackberry fruit reigns supreme on the nose, with smoke and dark, earthy notes lying in wait. The palate has a firm tightness and oaky black-fruit flavors that offer a twinge of coconut and herbs. Toasty and chocolaty on the finish. A big, stacked Malbec to drink now through 2013.

Bodega Renacer 2004 Punto Final Malbec (Perdriel)
- Best Buy
- $11
One of the year’s best red wine values has to be this fully ripe and totally structured Malbec made by Alberto Antonini (winemaker for Altos Las Hormigas) and Hector Durigutti. The color almost gives away its power; and if not, the aromas of marinated meat, plum and blackberry essence will. Saturated, thick and modern, but made right. Perfect with beef.

Bodega Renacer 2005 Punto Final Reserva Malbec (Perdriel)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
Is there a better, more consistent Malbec on the market today than Punto Final? The 2005 is typically rich and dense, with saturated berry aromas and a strong but balanced oak element. The palate is a potpourri of berries, chocolate and vanilla, while the mouthfeel is juicy and stacked. Quite delicious; this is the type of wine that gives Argentine Malbec its good name.

Bodega Renacer 2007 Renacer R Malbec (Mendoza)
- $70
Powerful from the beginning, with depth of fruit to the nose as well as floral notes. The palate is a bit more simple than I expected; it’s fresh and properly acidic but the flavors of berry and black cherry are jammy and there seems to be a hint of overripeness to the wine. Still, it’s a dark, lusty Malbec with purity and nice touches of vanilla, mocha and coffee…

Bodega Renacer 2008 Punto Final Reserva Malbec (Perdriel)
- $20
A rich Malbec with graham cracker, pastry, blackberrry and boysenberry aromas. Talk about super concentrated; this is thick but balanced, with tannic grip and dark, baked flavors of berry and chocolate. Bulky on the finish, with peppery spice, vanilla and a touch of heat.
