El Fogón 2006 Torrontés (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
By far the best wine in the El Fogón lineup is this Torrontes. The nose is clean and harmonious, with light flower blossom scents. A citrusy mix blends with both apple and pear fruit on the palate, and the finish is clean, if a bit sweet (residual sugar?). Drink as soon as possible.

El Fogón 2005 Tempranillo (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Rhubarb, Band-Aid and other lean, pickled aromas get this lightweight Tempranillo. Flavors of tea, cherry and pepper control the dry palate, while cinnamon arises on the racy, crisp finish. Not much richness or body, but good enough.

El Fogón 2005 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Nothing about the El Fogón wines has been impressive. This Malbec, which should be the jewel of the portfolio, is a weak pretender with starchy, lean flavors of raspberry and apple skins. It has no body and a disjointed, buttery finish.

El Fogón 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Brambly on the nose, with equally challenging and drying flavors of cranberry and rhubarb. There’s very little to say about this stripped-down Cabernet other than that it’s generally clean and not brutally offensive.
