Dolce Stefania 2007 Bonarda (Mendoza)

Best Buy

Price $10

Chocolaty and malty to start with, then more meaty, rubbery and traditional on the nose. The palate is round and just right in feel, while the palate is meaty, layered and savory, with juicy acidity and savory undercurrents. Cutting and food-friendly, and very well-made for a $10 wine. — M.S. (12/31/2010)

Dolce Stefania 2007 Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $15

Fresh, inviting raspberry, strawberry and tempered vanilla aromas set up a snappy, equally fresh palate of cherry and raspberry. There’s no excess heft, beef, extract or color to this wine; it’s restrained but not miserly. And it finishes crisp and flashy. Well made and likely good with food. — M.S. (2/1/2010)

Dolce Stefania 2005 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $17

Woodsy spice, clove and chocolate announce the oak that is the lead factor throughout the wine. The nose is creamy and resiny green, with vanilla yogurt, plum and berry flavors coming next. Solid in terms of acidity and feel, but a little bit lactic due to the wood treatment. — M.S. (8/1/2008)

Dolce Stefania 2005 Malbec (Mendoza)

Online Exclusive

Price $13

Big but scattered. The nose mixes incongruent aromas of green beans, chocolate and wood resin before transitioning to a palate of wood spice and generic berry fruit flavors. Too chewy, resiny and woody, and lacking harmony. — M.S. (8/1/2008)

Dolce Stefania 2006 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Online Exclusive

Price $16

Fairly citrusy and lean for a reserve-level Malbec. The nose is short, high-toned and shows aromas of red fruits, citrus and even celery. The palate is fresh but tight and drying, with raspberry flavors and cherry skins and tomato on the finish. A red-dominant wine. — M.S. (2/1/2010)
