Bodega Chacra 2006 No. 55 Pinot Noir (Río Negro Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $100

Hands down, this is the finest Pinot Noir from South America that I’ve ever tasted, and that includes Chile, Argentina and anyplace else. Italy’s Piero Incisa della Rocchetta of Sassicaia fame started this project in 2004, and it’s now finding a groove. This wine is as elegant as Burgundy but as full of flavor as something from California. The color is rosy, the… — M.S. (10/1/2007)

Bodega Chacra 2007 No. 32 Pinot Noir (Río Negro Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $120

Bodega Chacra is Piero Incisa’s personal project in Rio Negro, Argentina. It is only Pinot Noir, made by esteemed winemaker Hans Vinding Diers. This wine from vines planted in 1932 is linear and intense to the core. It’s an ageworthy specimen with fine acidity and a tight structure. Now, it’s juicy and a little sharp, with piercing black cherry fruit and spice… — M.S. (5/1/2009)

Bodega Chacra 2006 No. 32 Pinot Noir (Río Negro Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $120

From vines planted in 1932, this Pinot Noir is simply beautiful. It’s bigger and more dense than its younger brother, No. 55, but maybe a tad less elegant and a bit more cellar worthy. The aromas are a blend of fine French oak and natural Pinot aromas of tea, cherry and raspberry. Mineral and coffee appear late on the finish. Unlike any other Pinot from the… — M.S. (10/1/2007)

Bodega Chacra 2008 Cincuenta y Cinco Pinot Noir (Río Negro Valley)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $125

Still the king of South American Pinot Noir, Chacra’s “55” offers a beautiful amalgam of dusty Middle Eastern spice aromas along with raspberry, cherry and cocoa notes. It’s a finessed but forceful (read: high-alcohol) Pinot with penetrating black cherry, plum and chocolate flavors, and the finish is long but hot in its youth. Doesn’t lack for much of anything… — M.S. (2/1/2010)

Bodega Chacra 2007 No. 55 Pinot Noir (Río Negro Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $100

From vines planted in 1955, this is a rose-tinted Pinot with a woven, integrated bouquet of toast, mineral and berry fruits. There’s more Burgundian character here than New World, so it pours on the cerebral scents and flavors of tea, rose hip, strawberry and raspberry. Reserved in style, but good to drink now and over the next few years. If $100 seems like a lot… — M.S. (5/1/2009)

Yacochuya 2000 Malbec (Cafayate)

Price $48

Renowned French consultant Michel Rolland and his wife, Dany, make this bruiser in northern Argentina, and it’s unique to say the least. It sizzles at 16% alcohol, with subdued ink and smoke aromas, fiery flavors of blackberry, licorice and pepper, and firm, probing tannins. Call it a wine warrior’s wine, a collector’s special; and try to cellar it for several… — M.S. (12/1/2003)

Colomé 2005 Reserva Red (Calchaqui Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $90

About five years into its existence and Colomé has found its groove in this excellent, luscious Malbec-Cabernet blend. The bouquet is exotic and savory, with classic dark-fruit aromas, spice, cocoa and more. Big on the palate, with cassis, wild berry and chocolate flavors, and the finish is big, ripe and sturdy. Good now through 2013. — M.S. (8/1/2009)

Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2003 Noemía Malbec (Río Negro Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $152

It doesn’t take a great brain to figure out that this is a rocking, beautifully crafted international red wine. Mint, spice and chocolate aromas are dipped in lovely new oak, while the palate is all about bold plum backed by coffee and mocha. Stellar now and shows all signs of a wine that will only get better. Imported by Vias Imports. — M.S. (4/1/2006)
