Santa Julia 2010 Magna Red (Mendoza)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $18
A really good and upright blend of Cabernet, Malbec and Syrah that exhibits composure along with nice berry and pastry aromas. Bright and zesty in the mouth, with boysenberry, blueberry and pulse to the palate. Long, driving and steady on the finish.  — M.S.  (3/1/2012)

Santa Julia 2008 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  1. $11
Chunky, stout and solid on the nose, with round, pure flavors of black cherry and raspberry. The mouthfeel is comfortable and complete, especially for an $11 wine from Argentina. Finishes dry, smooth and slightly spicy; very pleasing in a no-nonsense way.  — M.S.  (7/1/2010)

Santa Julia 2000 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  1. $11
A bouquet of dark, earthy Malbec fruit and tangy oak opens this dense, compact red. The mouth shows similar flavors and a full, chewy feel. Finishes with firm but not harsh tannins, spice and earth notes. A fine candidate for a few years’cellaring, which should allow it to open it up hopefully adding elegance to its considerable power.  — W.E.  (12/15/2001)

Santa Julia 2006 Organica Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  1. $9
A really nice and lighter-styled Cabernet with bright fruit and spicy oak crawling on the bouquet. The palate is full of friendly raspberry, strawberry and plum, while the finish is round and chocolaty. For the money, this is an extremely complete little wine that offers just-right balance throughout.  — M.S.  (5/1/2007)

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
The nose is full of mellow raspberry and cherry, while the palate is fleshy and round, with blackberry and a touch of raisin. Plump, not edgy, and ready to drink, with coffee and mocha notes on the finish.  — M.S.  (8/1/2009)

Santa Julia 2005 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  1. $12
Robust and with a touch of raisin, this full-bodied Cab hits many correct notes. The oak may be a bit buttery and the tannins fairly full, but overall this does a good job of impersonating a much pricier wine; it’s big, liberally oaked, ripe and quite good as a whole.  — M.S.  (8/1/2007)

Santa Julia 2010 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  1. $12
Full and concentrated, with aromas of roasted blackberry, cassis and plum. The palate is solid and offers a pleasant and proper mouthfeel, while the flavors of cassis, raspberry and plum satisfy and come with only a touch of herbal essence. Dark on the finish, with follow through.  — M.S.  (11/1/2011)

Santa Julia 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
Pretty aromas of cassis, cherry and sweet cream are inviting. Feels good, with zesty acidity and nice overall balance. Flavors of black currant, Bing cherry and plum cover the bases, while the finish is easygoing. The epitome of everyday Cabernet.  — M.S.  (5/1/2012)
