Conquista 2009 Oak Cask Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
The focus here is on red fruits and zest more than richness and weight. The palate is snappy, with raspberry and red plum flavors along with vanilla shadings. Candied and just full enough on the finish, with mild herbal notes.

Light, with cherry and orange peel on the nose. So it’s not surprising that snappy cherry and raspberry flavors follow. Shows a lot of pop and acidity, yet it manages to fold in some pepper and chocolate. Imported by Prestige Wine Group.

Lychee aromas are what you get from the otherwise neutral bouquet, and the palate is tangy and regular, with orange and tangerine flavors. Long, sharp and a touch pithy and bitter on the finish.

Conquista 2008 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Jammy and loose smelling, with aromas akin to red licorice ropes. The palate is herbal and quiet tasting, but the feel is spiky due to pointed acidity. Menthol and spice accents darken the finish.

Conquista 2007 Reserve Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Soupy strawberry aromas mix with baked red berry fruits, while the palate is clacky and grabby, with stretched red fruit flavors that drift toward tomato. Acidity is high and rears up on the finish, leaving a straightforward, semisour ending.

Conquista 2011 Moscato (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Neutral smelling except for pithy white fruit aromas. Feels sticky but not cloying, with lychee flavors that turn bitter towards the end. Short on the finish, with little activity or lasting flavor.
