Ambiente 2003 Tempranillo (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Argentinean Tempranillo is a slippery slope, as evidenced by this mossy, olive-ridden red that has its moments as well as its faults. Positives include a nice spice element and good intentions. But beware of the herbal flavors and rock-hard mouthfeel.

Ambiente 2009 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $6
Slightly green and a touch mulchy. The palate offers a decent mix of red fruits, herbal flavors and leathery notes. Finishes salty and choppy, but overall it’s not a bad wine for the price.

Ambiente 2009 Merlot (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $6
Red licorice candy and sweet red berry aromas lead to a narrow, prickly, semitart palate with sharp raspberry and strawberry flavors. Finishes quick, with the taste of red Twizzlers. Not much depth here, but decent for the price.

Ambiente 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $6
A sweet-styled Cabernet with raisin, black cherry and baked plum aromas. The feel is clacky and unsophisticated, and the flavors blend candied currant, prune and sugar. Grabby as well.

Ambiente 2004 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Not a lot of ambience to talk about. The nose is almost peanutty in its murkiness, while the flavors of cherry, burnt toast and green pepper are less than impressive. Not an overly bad wine; it just fails to impress at any juncture.
