Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2003 Noemía Malbec (Río Negro Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $152
It doesn’t take a great brain to figure out that this is a rocking, beautifully crafted international red wine. Mint, spice and chocolate aromas are dipped in lovely new oak, while the palate is all about bold plum backed by coffee and mocha. Stellar now and shows all signs of a wine that will only get better. Imported by Vias Imports.

Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2009 Malbec (Patagonia)
- Cellar Selection
- $128
A dynamite Malbec with heavy oak and the structure and foundation to match it. Lemon, hickory, leather, marzipan and black fruit aromas are powerful. In the mouth, tannins and extract create a vise grip to frame concentrated blackberry, coconut, pepper and lemon peel flavors. Layered and woody on the finish. Drink from 2012 through 2016.

Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2007 Noemía Malbec (Río Negro Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $132
As always, Noemía is proof that excellent Malbec can come from Patagonia. Big, bold and smoky on the nose, with blackberry and bacon. The palate is broad and bulky but balanced, while flavors of smoked meats, black fruits, licorice and especially clove stand out. Dark with a persistent clove note on the finish. Best now through 2012.

Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2009 J. Alberto Malbec (Río Negro Valley)
- $45
A savory and smoky wine that impresses with its licorice, spice and bacon aromas along with corpulence and length. There’s more than enough oak here, but the sandalwood, mocha and wood-driven spice notes blend into the wine’s big-berry fabric rather than dominate. Overall there’s fine balance, black fruit essence, depth of flavor and a long, toasty finish. 1,800…

Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2004 Noemía Malbec (Río Negro Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $110
Noemía’s signature Malbec, now in its third vintage, is one of the country’s best. It starts out herbal and smoky, with a lot of dark French oak. The mouth is powerful and pure, with at least three layers of complex flavors and textures. The fruit is both subtle and loud. Simply an excellent wine of world-class character. Best in 2008–09.

Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2002 Noemía Malbec (Río Negro Valley)
- $140
Exotic and refined, with a stately bouquet of violets, mineral and cassis. Sensational quality for a wine from rugged Patagonia. It bursts with black raspberry propelled by firm acids. Then it folds back into a darker space, where fudge and pepper notes make for a warming, spicy finish. Shows off the skill of Danish winemaker Hans Vinding-Diers.

Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2006 Noemía Malbec (Río Negro Valley)
- $130
As per usual, this Patagonian beauty ranks high on our scale of classy Malbecs. It’s well-oaked, which results in hickory and campfire aromas alongside dark berries and mineral. The palate is ripe and meaty, with blackberry and coffee flavors. Some vanilla and coconut on the finish is a reminder of the fine oak treatment this wine receives. Fine acidity and tannic…

Bodega Noemía de Patagonia 2010 J. Alberto Malbec (Patagonia)
- $52
Complex and also ripe and blatantly pleasing. Balsamic aromas blend with cassis, blackberry and citrus peel secents to form an exotic bouquet. It’s solid and firm in the mouth, with lemony oak framing pure berry fruit. Tight, pure and delivers the total package for Patagonian Malbec.
