Finca El Origen 2009 El Origen Gran Reserva Malbec (Uco Valley)
- $20
A little charred and hard on the nose, with licorice, pepper, mint and coffee aromas. The palate is perfectly balanced and quite generous, with massive blackberry and chocolate flavors. Spicy and long on the finish, with mocha notes. Definitely a ripe, big-boned wine.

Finca El Origen 2010 Gran Reserva Malbec (Uco Valley)
- $30
Despite having tons of oaky aromas of coconut and vanilla, it’s delicious, balanced and rich, with a graphite element. The full but smooth tannins carry the thick berry and plum flavors, which help absorb the generous oak like a sponge. Drink now–2016.

Finca El Origen 2008 Reserva Torrontés (Cafayate)
- Best Buy
- $11
Floral and lychee aromas and flavors are true to the variety and the Salta region, and overall this is the style of Torrontés we can recommend. It's fresh and bracing, but also round and deep. Citrus, lychee, mango and kiwi flavors all play a role, and the finish has length and purity. Imported by Carolina Wine Brands USA.

Finca El Origen 2010 Reserva Torrontés (Cafayate)
- $12
A bit heavy and oily on first blush, with tropical fruit aromas resting underneath the surface. The palate is round and full, almost syrupy, with honeyed citrus and pithy flavors. Turns more pithy and a little hot on the finish.
