Altosur 2002 Merlot (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
Quite jumbled and big at 14.2% alcohol. This wine is cast in stone, it’s so hard and tannic, even for Merlot. But under the bombarding tannic wall there’s racy dark berry fruit. Ripped and hard, it badly needs meat to ease the tannins. By itself it’s no joy ride.

Altosur 2002 Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- $10
This wine from Finca Sophenia is tiring and should be drunk immediately. In the meantime, there are cornflake and wheat bread aromas in front of a creamy palate marked by honey and flan. Warm, doughy and losing form.

Altosur 2002 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- $10
Tobacco, sugar beet and cough drop aromas don’t offer much, while blatant wood resin on the palate is wrapped tightly around blowsy blackberry fruit. Tough and tannic.
