Enrique Foster 2004 Firmado Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Price $90

Purple as can be, with a loaded bouquet of black fruit and oak. This is your classic heavyweight, and while 2004 was not a great vintage in Mendoza, this wine still shows excellent depth, weight and balance. Firm on the finish, with big tannins and grab. Production was only 175 cases; drink now–2009. Imported by Southern Wine Group. — M.S. (8/1/2007)

Enrique Foster 2004 Finca Castro Barros Reserva Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Price $25

Allow some of the muscled-up aromas of rubber and churned earth to blow off and what’s left are true blackberry aromas and seductive plum, berry, coffee and cola flavors. This properly captures the essence of Mendoza Malbec; it’s dark and tannic but honest and healthy. Drink now into 2010. — M.S. (8/1/2008)

Enrique Foster 2004 Terruño Vistalba Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $20

A blasting bouquet of oak and affiliated cinnamon and spice are wave one, while next up there’s dark fruit and a wealth of vanilla. This is one saturated Malbec, with menthol and tannins in spades. Only medium follow-through on the finish tempers the final grade. Imported by Southern Wine Group. — M.S. (10/1/2007)

Enrique Foster 2003 Reserva Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Price $23

A good finisher, with early minty, resiny aromas giving way to broader, more typical ripe aromas and flavors. The mouthfeel is lively courtesy of vivid core acidity, while the berry and cherry flavors come across ripe and grabby. The more air you give it the better it’ll perform. Imported by Slocum & Sons. — M.S. (10/1/2007)

Enrique Foster 2003 Edicion Limitada Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Price $45

The bouquet is fairly tight, with aromas of coffee, crushed minerals, crude oil and fine herbs. The palate runs snappier than most high-end Malbecs, but it also delivers on the promise of ripeness and black-fruit flavors. Finishes in healthy fashion, with some slickness and speed. Very nice and likely even better with food. 1,000 cases made. Imported by Slocum & Sons. — M.S. (8/1/2007)

Enrique Foster 2003 Ique Malbec (Mendoza)

Best Buy

Price $12

Dark purple in color, with equally dark aromas of black fruit, road tar and mustard greens. The mouth is balanced and rich, dealing jammy blueberry and black cherry along with a serving of melted fudge. What Malbec from Argentina should be. — M.S. (11/15/2004)

Enrique Foster 2007 IQUE Malbec (Mendoza)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $11

Fruity and forward, but airing allows restraint and character to emerge. Still, this is a red-blooded red wine with racy fruit, plenty of freshening acids, pepper and bitter chocolate at the end. Best in late 2008 into 2009. — M.S. (8/1/2008)

Enrique Foster 2002 Limited Edition Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Price $36

Starts a little sour, pickled and funky, but airing lets it find its legs and shine. Plum and snappy berry fruit is a touch tart, but not too much so. With time, it fattens up, displaying charcoal, coffee and chocolate on the finish. — M.S. (11/15/2004)
