Big Daddy Vineyards 2003 Syrah (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $9
This wine is rock solid and well worth a go. The nose is smoky, rubbery and full of fruit. In the mouth, vanilla softens and supports pure plum and cherry flavors. Mouthfilling and balanced. If only all value wines were this well made. Imported by Dylain Produce, LLC.

Big Daddy Vineyards 2002 Bodega Polo Merlot (Uco Valley)
- Best Buy
- $8
Despite having no track record in the U.S., this wine has a lot of positives. The leathery nose has fresh red fruit, bacon and even some sugar-beet aromas. The flavor profile veers toward black plums, bacon and mocha, while the fully oaked finish is lengthy, powerful and full of vanilla and cherry candy. From the Polo stable, this is the best wine. Best Buy. —M.S.

Big Daddy Vineyards 2002 Sanes SA Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $8
Spicy and smooth on the nose, with piquant hints to the plum-styled fruit. The palate boasts cherry and plum accented by ample but balanced oak spice. Some buttery wood notes are evident on the long, layered finish. Seemingly well made and modern, and a nice example of affordable Malbec. Best Buy. —M.S.

Big Daddy Vineyards 2002 Bodega Polo Merlot (Carodilla)
- Best Buy

Cola and vanilla aromas kick off the nose, which is solid if not overtly fruity. Raspberry and cream flavors dominate the palate prior to a round, smooth finish that features some charred meat and vanilla. Weighty, with a spicy element throughout. —M.S.

Big Daddy Vineyards 2001 Tawert SA Merlot (Mendoza)

Deep, rich and gaudy, with a few exotic aromatic notes that create interest. The palate is round and ripe, with clean berry fruit. The finish, while flimsy and somewhat hollow at its center, is chewy and sweet. —M.S.

Big Daddy Vineyards 2001 Tawert SA Malbec (Tupungato)
- Best Buy
- $8
Sweet, candied aromas kick it off, and underneath there’s some blueberry and cotton candy. The mouth pops with cherry and raspberry flavors and some buttery oak. The finish is also kind of oaky and, all things considered, it’s a bit over the top. —M.S.
