Riglos 2009 Gran Corte Las Divas Vineyard Red (Tupungato)

Editors' Choice

Price $50

This wine takes you on a trip to an outer wine world where deep, cushioned berry aromas come with exotic perfumes, bath oils and crushed flower petals. It’s ultrasaturated and jammy, but not clunky or heavy. This tastes like a storm of blackberry, espresso and Swiss chocolate, while black spices and length bring up the rear. A blend of 50% Malbec, 40% Cabernet… — M.S. (8/1/2012)

Riglos 2008 Gran Corte Las Divas Vineyard Red (Mendoza)

Editors' Choice

Price $40

A luxurious Malbec-and-Cab-led blend that spent 22 months in new French oak and hardly shows it. The nose is sweet and deeply fruity, with floral violet notes and chocolate. It’s seriously dense in the mouth, with chewy tannins, roasted blackberry, exotic spice and tobacco flavors. Roasted and rich on the back end, with broad swaths of berry fruit and texture… — M.S.

Riglos 2010 Gran Las Divas Vineyard Malbec (Tupungato)

Cellar Selection

Price $32

While Argentine Malbecs aren’t textbook cellaring wines, this one has enough spirit, tannin and structure to benefit from a few years on its side. Now, it’s lush on the nose, with ripe berry, pencil eraser, vanilla and marzipan aromas. The palate is chewy but well built, with dense blackberry, cassis, coconut and chocolate flavors. On the finish, things only… — M.S. (5/1/2013)

Riglos 2008 Gran Las Divas Vineyard Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $30

Rich, pure and inviting as can be, with coconut, cola, licorice and a ton of black fruit making for an excellent bouquet. The palate is rich and smooth in texture, with blackberry, cassis and cola flavors. Layered and pure on the finish, with exemplary depth and length. — M.S. (11/1/2011)

Riglos 2006 Gran Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $32

Aromas of sandalwood, violets and berries give this one an elevated, magnetic nose, while the palate is lush, big and full of black fruit and masculine tannins. A dark, minerally style from high-elevation vineyards with a coating of vanilla and caramel on the long finish. — M.S. (2/1/2010)

Riglos 2006 Gran Corte Red (Tupungato)

Price $50

An intense Malbec-led marauder with rubbery black fruit aromas, spice and mile-deep ripeness. Pure, modern, beefy and purple, with rich black fruit flavors and also some sweeter blueberry notes. Finishes sizable but smooth. Drinkable now but better in a year. 70% Malbec with 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cab Franc. — M.S. (5/1/2010)

Riglos 2009 Gran Las Divas Vineyard Malbec (Tupungato)

Price $32

So ripe it’s edging toward raisiny, with plum, nutmeg, charcoal and licorice notes. Jammy, soft and borderline syrupy on the palate, this has saturated flavors of black fruit, burnt caramel and mushroom. This is toasty on the finish but without much grip or edge. Drink now–2014. — M.S. (8/1/2012)

points

Riglos 2006 Gran Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

Price $32

Big, meaty and dense, with dampness, earth and size. This is your typical deep and chewy wine, but the structure and core qualities are just above average. Flavors of black cherry, plum and brown sugar are good, while the finish shows a creamy vanilla flavor and cola. Good but not great for the price. — M.S. (5/1/2010)
