Riglos 2009 Gran Corte Las Divas Vineyard Red (Tupungato)
- Editors' Choice
- $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…

Riglos 2010 Gran Las Divas Vineyard Malbec (Tupungato)
- Cellar Selection
- $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…

Finca Sophenia 2007 Synthesis the Blend Red (Tupungato)
- Online Exclusive
- $44
A touch of mineral and charcoal-based darkness interacts with black currant and berry aromas, while the palate is rich, smoky and dark, with huge berry flavors touched up by cracked black pepper, chocolate and burnt toast. Solid as a rock and covers all the bases of a good Bordeaux-style blend. Drink from 2010 through 2013.

Felipe Rutini 2000 Malbec (Tupungato)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
A delicious, deeply fruited wine that’s packed with meaty aromas, a hint of iodine and some sweet perfume. The palate is defined not by individual fruit flavors but a wholeness and lushness that you can’t ignore. Overall it’s perfectly balanced and rewarding to drink; a stellar Malbec at an affordable price. Editors’ Choice. —M.S.

Finca Sophenia 2004 Synthesis the Blend Red (Tupungato)
- $37
Broad and bullish is this blend of Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose is rich and granular, with hints of plum, raisin and iodine. It airs out nicely, exposing boysenberry and cassis flavors. And it finishes rock solid, with depth. It’s all here; excellent wine from a mediocre vintage.

Riglos 2006 Gran Corte Red (Tupungato)
- $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.

Finca Sophenia 2008 Synthesis the Blend Red (Tupungato)
- $54
Deep berry, cola, mint and leather aromas are classy and not overdone. Feels lush and deep in the mouth, with blatant ripeness and toasty, oaky flavors of cola, coconut and blackberry. Finishes big but not that long or complex. Drink now through 2013; Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Andeluna 2010 Altitud Malbec (Tupungato)
- $25
This is a high-quality Malbec with fleshy berry aromas that veer towards raisiny reduction but don’t quite get there. It’s plump and buttery on the palate, with baked berry, plum and herb flavors that lead to a smooth finish with a licorice accent. Drink now through 2017.
