DiamAndes 2008 de Uco Gran Reserva Red (Uco Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
Blackberry, blueberry and maple aromas announce a rich, ripe wine. There’s also toast and char on the nose. In the mouth, this is layered and grabby, with mossy black-fruit flavors that end in a cool, earthy swirl of cola and licorice. This blend of 75% Malbec and 25% Syrah is a stunner and should be consumed now through 2016.

DiamAndes 2007 Gran Reserva Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- $35
Appealing from the start, with minerality, crustiness and tight dark berry aromas. The palate is saturated and layered, with flavors of blackberry, coffee and chocolate. Offers grip and structure due to fine tannins, and it’s ready to drink now.

DiamAndes 2010 Chardonnay (Uco Valley)
- $20
Toasty apple aromas are familiar and generic. It’s full in the mouth, with an oak-based resiny grab and woody flavors of banana, pear and baked apple. A lot of woodspice lingers on the creamy finish, which is slightly bitter in taste.

DiamAndes 2011 Perlita Malbec-Syrah (Uco Valley)
- $13
Big, bold aromas of black fruits, dried cheese and vanilla signal a well-oaked, ripe wine. The palate feels good but buttery, and the flavor profile is equally divided between blackberry, vanilla and licorice. With airing, this turns more herbal.

DiamAndes 2010 Diamondia Malbec (Uco Valley)
- $20
This opaque Malbec is a heavyweight with leathery aromas, horsey notes and blueberry. It’s saturated and thick, with just enough acidity but mostly it delivers thick berry flavors, tons of oak, raisiny notes and hard tannins.

DiamAndes 2010 Malbec (Uco Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A heavy, dark and loud Malbec with bullish floral and black fruit aromas. Offers vise-grip tannins and borderline-overpowering blackberry flavors. Darkens on the finish, leaving espresso bitterness and chocolaty spice.

DiamAndes 2010 Perlita Malbec-Syrah (Uco Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Dark and concentrated, this has jammy, raisiny aromas that are marked with a strong current of green. It feels full but a touch flat, with sweet berry flavors and a core of mint. The finish ends abruptly.

DiamAndes 2011 de Uco Viognier (Uco Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Light lemon and melon aromas lead the nose, but the wine slips in the mouth, becoming creamy and flabby in constitution, with only mild citrus, papaya and bitterness for flavors.
— M.S.
