Dante Robino 2006 Bonarda (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Mint and rubber band scents open the bouquet, and then black fruit and marmalade aromas take over. This Bonarda is riper, softer and more cuddly than most, with ultraripe black-fruit flavors and soft tannins that make it borderline sappy. Plump, easygoing and loaded with fruit. Drink now to get the soft, giving side of this grape.

Dante Robino 2008 Estate Bottled Bonarda (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $13
Like any good Bonarda, this is a tough wine. But on the other hand, it’s flush, very dark and full of black-fruit flavors and texture. The nose is piercing but honest, while the palate is big and fleshy, with firm tannins, extract and bright black cherry and blackberry flavors. Thick throughout, with bacony notes to the finish.

Dante Robino NV Novecento Extra Brut Sparkling (Mendoza)
- $15
Not a bad ride for Argentina. The dry apple nose is inviting, and the palate offers texture and solidity that supports controlled apple and pineapple flavors. The finish is cheerful and offers dried mango notes, and overall the wine tilts toward tropical while maintaining a dry footing.

Dante Robino 2008 Estate Bottled Malbec (Mendoza)
- $13
A nice, regular sort of Malbec for everyday drinking. The nose is familiar, with basic berry aromas that have some sharpness, while the palate is solid if a bit tangy, with lively cherry flavors. Juicy and fresh, although slightly angular in feel. Ages only three months in oak, hence the fruit-forwardness.

Dante Robino 2006 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Lightly baked and sweet on the nose, which draws you in. The palate is brighter and more austere, with sheer, slightly bland cherry and raspberry flavors. Fresh, clean and bouncy on the finish, but never does it turn the corner toward greater complexity or quality. Good to average overall.

Dante Robino 2007 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Smoke and earth notes vie with leather, olive, herbal scents and baked fruit aromas prior to a syrupy, sweet and cloying berry fruit palate. Lacks drive and spine as it comes across heavy, and the finish is syrupy and herbal, with a rubbery bite at the end.
