Andean 2004 Finca La Escondida Reserva Chardonnay (San Juan)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
A classic modern wine with plenty of vanilla, almond and baked apple on the rich, nutty bouquet. Flavors of peach, toasted nuts and bread are stylish and elegant, while a beam of acidity keeps it perfectly balanced. A great little find from Argentina.

Andean 2005 Finca La Escondida Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (San Juan)
- $13
Strident aromas of licorice, herbs, berries and mint make it interesting, while the palate is light and fresh, with raspberry and red currant flavors. There’s not a lot of heft, extract or depth to the wine, but it’s likable and unhindered by excess oak and such. Enjoyable due to its unchallenging simplicity.

Andean 2005 Finca La Escondida Reserva Shiraz (San Juan)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Stocked with color and earthy, oaky aromas. This is not a shy wine, which doesn’t make it polished or deft. Instead, it’s a beefy, extracted number with midlevel dark fruit followed by plenty of forced, chocolaty oak. Big in stature with no likelihood of improving.

Andean 2006 Finca La Escondida Reserva Chardonnay (San Juan)
- $12
The bouquet resembles fresh apple cider. There’s more apple and the addition of citrus on the palate, while the finish is ripe, fruity and soft. More chunky than upright.

Andean 2005 Finca La Escondida Reserva Chardonnay (San Juan)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
The bouquet has a lot of burnt character, particularly rubber, and the palate has too much corn, citrus pith and peach pit. Shows vibrant acidity but little finesse.
