Finca Agostino 2008 Agostino Familia Gran Reserva Red (Mendoza)
- $30
This opens with smoky, powerful aromas of black fruit and oak. The palate feels flush, offering several levels of character and complexity. Flavorwise, this pulses with blackberry, cassis and fudge, before finishing with subtle prune, mint and chocolate notes. Not edgy or hard. A blend of Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet and Syrah.

Finca Agostino 2008 Chardonnay-Viognier (Mendoza)
- $19
Smooth baked apple aromas work well, and the peach and vanilla side notes are equally good. Plump and easygoing on the palate, with honeyed apple and banana flavors, and then creamy on the finish, with vanilla and spice. Sweet, good and easy to enjoy.

Finca Agostino 2007 Malbec (Mendoza)
- $19
Rooty aromas of baked fruit and coffee/mocha set the stage for a chunky, thick palate of semi-salty berry fruit. There’s a medium level of ripeness and sweetness here, which is broadened by oak, resin and vanilla notes. A good but typically bulky Malbec.

Finca Agostino 2007 Ilka Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
A good effort for the money. The nose has rubber and bold fruit, while the palate has a natural, balanced feel and nice flavors of berry, cassis, brown sugar and chocolate. Blends juiciness with enough weight and sweetness to rate highly in the value class.

Finca Agostino 2009 Ilka Torrontés (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
With aromas of talcum powder, gardenia and lychee, this offers classic Torrontés aromas. The palate is wet, refreshing and not at all heavy, and the flavors of gooseberry, lychee and lemon are simple but nice. Good, tasty and clean, which is all you can ask for from $10 Torrontés.

Finca Agostino 2007 Ilka Merlot (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Burnt, stemmy and roasted smelling, with a leafy cover to the nose. The palate is cheek-grabbing and tannic, while the flavors of red fruits are regular and spicy. Even more barrel spice appears on the forward, lean finish.

Finca Agostino 2010 Reserva Chardonnay-Viognier (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Talcum powder and apple aromas accompany a big whiff of resinous oak. On the palate, it’s tropical in both feel and flavors, with plenty of weight and aggressive tastes of pineapple and mango. Feels a bit sticky and not quite precise, with a chunky finish.

Finca Agostino 2007 Ilka Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
A baked, sweet, candied Malbec with a gritty, sugary mouthfeel and sweet, zappy cherry and plum flavors. Hot and breaks down on the finish. Rudimentary.
