Domaine Jean Bousquet 2009 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $12
Very nice Malbec for the money. The bouquet is floral and bright, with a hint of dry oak and mocha. The feel is full and well balanced, while the palate has a bright and lively personality with cherry, raspberry, chocolate and spice flavors. Smooth, tastes good and offers plenty of value.

Domaine Jean Bousquet 2004 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $11
Entirely attractive and smooth. The nose offers appropriate milk chocolate, crushed berry and jam-like aromas, while the palate is ripe, fruity and balanced. Good on the palate, with sweet but dark finishing notes. A winner in its price range. Imported by North American Beverage Group, LLC.

Domaine Jean Bousquet 2006 Grand Reserve Malbec (Tupungato)
- $25
Briary berry aromas have a modest but welcome rooty, medicinal accent, while the palate is aggressive, ripe and offers the right framework for sweet berry and plum flavors. Pure and clean on the finish, with mocha and root beer notes. High-quality Malbec.

Domaine Jean Bousquet 2009 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)
- $18
Dark and heavily oaked on first blush, but give it time to unwind or let it sit in the bottle for a year or two and this will satisfy any Malbec lover. Early on, it’s dense and full of shoe polish, mint and coconut; later it spreads out to show sweet dark-berry flavors and finally a rich, almost sticky finish of woodspice, brown sugar and lushness.

Domaine Jean Bousquet 2006 Malbec (Tupungato)
- Best Buy
- $12
This is Bousquet’s better 2006 Malbec because it doesn’t have the heavy-handed oak of the Reserva. Here you get a ton of ripe, clean fruit with secondary leather and earth aromas. The palate is lively as it hits with firm blackberry and plum flavors. Not complex but good in its simplicity. Imported by North American Beverage Group.

Domaine Jean Bousquet 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Tupungato)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Airy floral notes and a whiff of strawberry on the nose give this wine a lighter outlook, yet the palate is still fairly full-bodied as it offers ripe blackberry and chocolate flavors. Maybe a touch herbal here and there, but geneally speaking this is a solid, chewy Cabernet. 10,000 cases made.

Domaine Jean Bousquet 2007 Malbec (Tupungato)
- Best Buy
- $12
Ripe and big, with campfire aromas and black fruit. There’s a bulky molasses and brown sugar element to this wine along with blackberry and creamy mocha. Ripe and rich for a value-priced Malbec, but that said, it teeters on the verge of being syrupy. Best if you like creamy New World reds.

Domaine Jean Bousquet 2007 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Tupungato)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A little heat early on, and also aromas of pepper, fresh fallen leaves and dry berry fruit. It’s more traditional in style, meaning it isn’t pitch black, sweet and thick. Instead the wine shows earthy, mature flavors of fig paste, raspberry and cough drop. More competent than flashy.
