Notro 2009 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $13
Savory and meaty on first take, with ample berry on the nose as warmth and leather seep through. The palate is round and healthy, with a mix of succulent berry and savory spice and leather pumping up the flavor profile. Spicy and chocolaty on the finish.

Notro 2005 Barrica Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)
- $14
Warm black-fruit aromas along with earth and controlled oak give this Malbec a nice bouquet, and the palate features full berry flavors and a dark-spice accent. The finish is smooth, mellow and slightly chocolaty. Satisfying, legitimate Malbec in every way.

Notro 2006 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Jammy and rubbery on the nose, but undeniably bold and friendly as well. The palate is what we’d describe as “happy,” meaning it’s full, not too tannic and tasty. Flavors of cassis and ripe plum offer some fatness, and the finish is easygoing. Uncomplicated and good as a value wine.

Notro 2010 Malbec (Mendoza)
- $13
A bit raw and hot on the nose, with wild berry aromas and some fiery horseradish before it rounds into form. The palate has a good, regular feel and crisp plum and red cherry flavors. Fruity and fresh, but limited.
— M.S.

Notro 2007 Torrontés (Mendoza)
- $11
Light and generally neutral, this is Torrontés that’s easy to quaff. The nose is mildly citric, but it doesn’t go much further than that. And the palate is crisp, with peach, apple and nectarine flavors. Clean and medium on the finish; gets the job done. Drink now and drink well chilled.

Notro 2010 Torrontés (Mendoza)
- $11
Light and lemony aromas blend into lychee scents, while the palate is textured and fairly full, with dry, melony flavors along with green fruit and lychee. Finishes full, with moderate intensity. A quaffing wine to drink now.

Notro 2010 Sangiovese-Bonarda Red (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $9
Basic sweet berry aromas come across like fruit punch. The palate has a standard, solid mouthfeel and generic berry flavors. A little bit medicinal on the finish, and overall it’s your regular everyday red wine with not much varietal character. 50% each Sangiovese and Bonarda.

Notro 2008 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Opens with a foxy, jumpy, jammy set of aromas. The palate is also jammy and amorphous, with candied berry flavors and a drab, tangy, almost peppery finish.
— M.S.
