Chalten 2007 Reserva Malbec (Neuquén)
- $15
More clean and relaxed than Chalten’s 2006 Gran Reserva, this reserve-level Malbec shows generous red-fruit aromas in front of standard but totally pleasant blackberry, spice and chocolate flavors. Nicely balanced, with firm acidity, mellow but present tannins, and a medium-long, slightly oaky finish. Classic Argentine Malbec from Neuquén in Patagonia.

Chalten 2006 Gran Reserva Malbec (Neuquén)
- $19
Plenty of charcoal, toast and resin work the bouquet, while the fruit seems a little candied. There’s a mix of black berry notes and oak, which results in a creamy mouthfeel and lingering vanilla and sweetness. A complete Malbec, but one that’s neither unique nor overly special.

Chalten 2007 Reserva Pinot Noir (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A lean and clean specimen with basic but familiar raspberry and cherry aromas. The palate is a little thin and acidic, but with that comes freshness. Flavors of cherry and mixed herbs are good but sharp, while a light dusting of pepper covers the lean, snappy finish.

Chalten 2007 Reserva Pinot Noir (Neuquén)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Opens with aromas of tomato leaf, fresh salsa and rubber. Later on red fruit enters the picture, and on the palate there’s adequate raspberry and plum with a hint of chocolate. Feelwise, it’s a touch gummy. But overall this wine from Patagonia is solid and proves that Argentinean Pinot Noir has its merits.
