El Rosal 2005 Reserve Malbec (San Rafael)
- $17
Touches of tree bark, nutmeg and aged cheese give the nose diversity compared to the standard blackberry and vanilla, and in the mouth the wine is full of cola, root beer and other savory flavors in addition to berry fruit. It’s a bit grabby and tannic, but overall it is quite good.

El Rosal 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (San Rafael)
- $17
From San Rafael in southern Mendoza, this Cab Sauvignon picks up a little more steam and complexity every time you go back to it. The nose is your basic cassis and raspberry, while the medium-weight palate features ripe fruit finishing in a sweet cascade of milk chocolate and burnt brown sugar. Satisfying, especially if you like a hint of sweetness to your Cab.
