Fabre Montmayou 2002 Gran Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $15
This you just have to love, especially for the price. Starts with graham cracker, kirsch and black cherry aromas before transitioning to chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Shows subtle touches but a lot of Argentinean power and pizzazz. Restrained but ripe; robust yet suave.

Spicy on the nose, with berry and plum aromas. The palate is smooth and sturdy, with toasty, ripe black-fruit flavors that carry a sweet, spicy base. It finishes long and serious.

Fabre Montmayou 2005 Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)
- Best Buy
- $10
Always one of the best Malbecs for the money. This French-owned estate doesn’t cut corners, so you get a serious red wine that’s heady, vigorous and authentic. The color is perfect, the bouquet smoky and penetrating, and the taste of berry fruit, spicy wood and vanilla convincing.

Fabre Montmayou 2002 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
Big and burly at 14.5% alcohol, with blueberry, blackberry, fudge and earth on the nose. Very ripe and heady, with sweet fruit flavors and a ton of oak. Nothing wrong whatsoever, but it locks into a place and doesn’t budge. As a result, complexity is lacking.

Mildly roasted and leafy, with dry berry aromas. This is ripe and juicy on the palate, with berry, black cherry and mocha flavors. Finishes almost creamy, with honest structure and medium-range tannins. Drink now.

Fabre Montmayou 2010 Phebus Malbec (Patagonia)
- Best Buy
- $12
This is jammy and bulky from the get-go, with heavy fruit aromas leading to a saturated, dense palate that feels thick. Baked, blackened flavors of sweet blackberry, chocolate and mocha mark the palate.

Fabre Montmayou 2011 Phebus Malbec (Mendoza)
Aromas of dark berry, rubber and a smoky quality define the bouquet. It feels nice, with a slight tannic grab and likable flavors of red berry and pepper. Short on the finish, but it’s fresh and clean.

Fabre Montmayou 2010 Phebus Reserva Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- $17
Oddly perfumed and flowery smelling, with peach and orange notes. Feels jumpy and unfocused, with sweet, almost candied flavors of melon and pineapple. Creamy oak rises up on the finish, where it matches up against stone fruit flavors.
