Solsticio 2008 Malbec (Mendoza)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
A big wine that handles its 15.3% abv. Smells of pastry, earth and soft berry fruit. Feels round but reticent, with no fire or heat but plenty of blackberry, molasses and coffee. Mellow, toasty and blackened on the finish, with an earthy feel and a baked aftertaste.  — M.S.  (5/1/2012)

Solsticio 2011 Verano Torrontés (Mendoza)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
Tropical in scent, almost to the point of air freshener, this also has an oily, bitter hint to the bouquet. It feels choppy and citric, with a nuttiness to the core of tangerine, lemon and melon flavors. Good but fading.  — M.S.  (2/1/2013)

Solsticio 2010 Torrontés (Mendoza)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
Bland and almondy on the bouquet, with an oily accent. Feels lightly spritzy but beyond that it’s simply wet and acidic. Tastes lemony, sharp and bland, with a lasting citric finish.  — M.S.  (3/1/2012)
