Altocedro 2007 Reserva Malbec (La Consulta)
- $39
One of Altocedro’s better efforts starts with meaty, ripe, chunky black fruit aromas and a wave of mocha, cocoa and berry syrup. It’s a creamy specimen but has enough acidity and vitality to not run flat. Mocha, carob and plum extend through the finish. Drink now.

Altocedro 2010 Reserva Malbec (La Consulta)
- Online Exclusive
- $29
Oak is front and center on the bouquet, and with that come accents of dried cheese and sawdust. Feels saturated, layered and tannic in the mouth, with roasted berry, black plum, herb and spice flavors. Feels and tastes a touch resiny on the finish, more evidence of the wine’s barrel influence.

Altocedro 2009 Gran Reserva Malbec (La Consulta)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
A very oaky style of Malbec. The bouquet is full of cough drop, milk chocolate and mint, while the palate feels solid and beefy, but resiny. Flavors of berry fruits are softened and sweetened by oak and chocolate, while the finish is woody and tannic.

Altocedro 2004 Año Cero Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $12
Violet in color, with chunky, ripe aromas of earth and berries that win you over. Structured and full, but also dry and layered. The fruit comes across ripe, while on the finish everything folds into a nice little square. Not spectacular but very easy to drink and enjoy.

Altocedro 2008 Malbec (La Consulta)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Fully roasted and savory in its aromas, with rubber and a peanutty hardness to the bouquet. Full and forward in the mouth, with a round body and a glaring streak of sharp acids running through the palate. Plum, berry and leather flavors are good, while the finish is peppy and zesty.

Altocedro 2011 Año Cero Malbec (La Consulta)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Concentrated aromas of blackberry come with leather and dried-cheese scents. The palate is full in depth and solid in feel, with flavors of creamy oak, medicinality and blackberry. Feels rich, grabby and tastes resiny on the finish, but there’s enough solid black fruit to override the oak.

Altocedro 2001 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)
- $17
Fresh-cut oak sits front and center, and behind it there’s textbook plum and berry fruit. Racy and tannic, but solid and fruity. Almost exactly as expected, although a bit thin as it gets more air. Imported by Epic Wines.

Altocedro 2006 Reserva Malbec (La Consulta)
- $28
More sweet and rooty than precise on the nose, with spice, leather and oak playing backup. The palate is short in fruit and depth, with mild sharpness and tang to the raspberry and plum flavors. Blends kick and jangled edges with plenty of oak and lactic notes, and in the end it’s good but not up to prime time.
