Alma del Sur 2009 Colección Bonarda (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
Clean and full for starters, with big berry aromas and hints of freshly poured tar as well as minerality. The palate is pure and hits the nail on the head in terms of feel. Flavors of blackberry and plum are dark and generous. Finishes with pepper, espresso and chocolate. Very good wine for the price.

Alma del Sur 2010 Colección Bonarda (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Interesting aromas of graham cracker, pastry, blackberry, dark cherry and tomato all work well together. The palate is full and easy, with some weight to it along with flavors of black plum and berry. Not exuberant on the finish; it ends in mellow, lightly medicinal fashion.

Alma del Sur 2008 Seleccionada Bonarda (Mendoza)
- $18
Smells good, with berry- dominated aromas. The palate is solid but acidic at the core, with sharpness on the palate that creates a juicy, crisp set of raspberry and plum flavors. Flattens out on the finish, where moderate oak-based butter notes rise up.

Alma del Sur 2008 Seleccionada Malbec (Mendoza)
- $18
Forward berry aromas are regular but solid. The palate has a ripe but choppy mouthfeel and juicy, firm flavors of blackberry and dark toast. Burns a bit on the finish, with extended toasty flavors and peppery accents.

Alma del Sur 2009 Torrontés (Mendoza)
- $12
Mild citrus blossom and a hint of mineral make for an average, quiet nose. The palate is equally standard, with midland white fruit flavors and green melon. Soft, light and short on the finish. Drink now or wait for the 2010.

Alma del Sur 2009 Colección Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- $12
Fiery and clipped on the nose, but then it settles onto red fruits and candy notes. The palate shows good grip and a proper but basic feel, with generic red berry and currant flavors. Solid on the finish; good in a common way.

Alma del Sur 2009 Colección Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Jammy and a bit scratchy on the nose, and also sort of dull and earthy. In the mouth, it’s tangy and citrusy, bordering on sour tasting, with pie cherry, plum and light savory notes. Finishes red and juicy, but with a tomato accent.

Alma del Sur 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Nail polish and mulchy fruit don’t do a lot to help the wine along. The palate is sweet, cloying and creamy, with milk chocolate flavors on top of simple plum and cherry. Sweet and a bar-worthy red at best.
