Cheval des Andes 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec (Mendoza)

Cellar Selection

Price $75

Deep, deep and deeper is how to best describe the chewy, fruit-saturated palate, but even better, this wine has guts, balance and aging capacity.

Cheval des Andes 2007 Red (Mendoza)

Price $80

A touch saucy on the nose, with tomato and herbal aromas infiltrating baked berry fruit scents. Feels fresh and clacky, with less extract and body than in the past but also more elegance. Tastes snappy and mildly herbal, with a juicy, slightly lean finish. Food friendly; drink now through 2013. — M.S. (12/31/2011)
