Bodega NQN 2006 Coleccion NQN Patagonia Universe Malbec (Neuquén)
- Editors' Choice
- $23
Excellent Malbec at a very good price. Ripe, big, burly and a powder keg of alluring cassis, licorice and inky aromas. Rich, stout and smooth in the mouth, with generous black cherry, baked plum, coffee and chocolate flavors and finishing notes. Pure as can be; drink now through 2012.

Familia Schroeder 2003 Red (Neuquén)
- $42
Congratulations go to Schroeder for having the guts to blend Pinot Noir and Malbec, and to get a great wine out of it. The mix is pure Patagonia, and after some fiery, dark aromas the palate takes over with a mix of bright fruit and chocolate. Round, large and full to the last drop, this is well worth a go should you come across it. 1,000 cases made.

Areo 2007 Malbec (Neuquén)
- Best Buy
- $15
This new wine from the Neuquén region is a winner. It has a deep, exotic nose of black fruit and citrus peel, while the palate is slick, lush and tastes of blackberry, cassis and orange peel. Deep, sultry, chewy Malbec with a robust finish.

Familia Schroeder 2006 Saurus Patagonia Select Chardonnay (Neuquén)
- Best Buy
- $14
Movie popcorn, baked fruits and plenty of toast and vanilla work the entry, while forward flavors of apple and pear are kicked up a notch by full acidity. And what that all means is that fruit pierces the fairly heavy oak on this wine, leaving you with a lot of the positives of New World Chardonnay. Nice in this price range.

Bodega NQN 2006 Malma Reserve Malbec (Neuquén)
- $16
Interesting Malbec with character and individuality. The nose is savory and smoky, with spice and floral aromas. Full and ripe in the mouth, where roasted black fruit, clove, spice and cola all make a showing. Textured and sizable late, with a coffee note to the finish. Drink now through 2011.

Bodega del Fin del Mundo 2007 Special Blend Red (Neuquén)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Modest lemony aromas set up additional scents of balsam wood, dried cherry, plum and spice. The palate is forward, maybe a touch sharp in terms of acidity, with rustic, roasted, leathery flavors. It is a big wine that finishes lively and also a little rooty and roasted. Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec-Merlot is the blend.

Familia Schroeder 2004 S Cabernet Sauvignon (Neuquén)
- $60
An interesting but questionable value with Patagonian individuality. The nose features clove, wild flowers, leather and hot berry fruit aromas, while the feel is clacky and tannic, and the flavors a little baked and stewy. Raisin, heft and berry soup characteristics make this a ripe, full-bodied force to reckon with.

Familia Schroeder 2005 Saurus Patagonia Select Merlot (Neuquén)
- $14
Open and rewarding, with strawberry and raspberry aromas followed by ripe, clean cherry and raspberry flavors. Don’t expect a ton of depth or richness, but do expect a food-friendly wine that’s convincing and well made.
