Cave Extrême NV Cuvée Speciale Sparkling (Mendoza)
- $20
Quite neutral and distant on the nose, with dry apple flavors working the soft, balanced palate. There are complexities such as white pepper and nutty nuances, but in the end it’s an average sparkler with a controlled approach. Good for Argentina but probably not ready to compete with the world’s best $20 sparkling wines.

Cave Extrême NV South Extrême Extra Brut Sparkling (Argentina)
- Best Buy
- $8
If you’re looking for a pedestrian but true sparkling wine for under $10, this Chenin Blanc-based bubbly from Argentina is solid, a touch yeasty and dry. It tastes much like a Loire Valley sparkler, with baked apple, apricot and peach pit flavors. On the negative side, it’s fairly foamy across the tongue and doesn’t have a top-grade mouthfeel.

Cave Extrême NV Extra Brut Sparkling (Argentina)
- $12
A little sweet on the nose, but also fairly scattered and unfocused. The feel is nice and the bubble bead is right on. But the flavors are centered around dull apple, and there seems to be a salinic element that makes everything taste a little salty.
