Filus 2010 Torrontés (Salta)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A pretty white wine with lively aromas, flavors and feel. The bouquet issues attractive lychee, melon and vanilla cream aromas, while the palate flows forth with apple, melon and exotic citrus flavors. Just spicy enough on the tail end, with a lasting taste of lychee fruit. Delicate, solid and fresh.

Filus 2008 Reserve Malbec (Uco Valley)
- $20
Oaky up front, with more than a dash of mocha, caramel and sweet berry fruit aromas. The palate is zesty and honest, with juicy, bright black cherry and berry flavors. Finishes toasty and perky, with one last shot of firm acidity to keep it running long and late.

Filus 2007 Reserve Malbec (Mendoza)
- $20
Dark and minty on the nose, with a juicy, somewhat rubbery and bouncy palate feel. Flavors of blackberry, plum and olive are a touch oily, while the finish is balanced and holds its form. Nothing outrageous, but good wine.

Filus 2005 Reserve Malbec (Mendoza)
- $18
A full and pulsing wine, with leather and other animal notes to make things more interesting. The mouth is like a black-fruit explosion: muscular berry and tannins fly all over the place, ending in a lively, almost fiery finish. A bit grabby and overexcited, but good with grilled meats.

Filus 2009 Reserve Malbec (Uco Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Sweet black fruit aromas come with notes of animal hide, brown sugar, prune and fern. Feels good but a touch scratchy and acidic, with dark spice, ample barrel influence, vanilla and blackberry flavors. Tastes minty and fades quickly on the finish.

Filus 2010 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
Full and forward smelling, with generic, slightly hot berry aromas. Feels good and tight, with a firm structure and sweet, lush red berry flavors. Narrows down on the finish, focusing on ripeness and red fruit. Nothing sour or astringent here.

Filus 2008 Alto Medrano Vineyards Torrontés (Mendoza)
- $13
Apple and melon aromas get it going, and while it smells reserved, there's a core acidity to it that keeps it tangy and aggressive. Flavors of apple and lemon are tart but fresh, while the finish is quiet and has a light, oily feel.

Filus 2007 Alto Medrano Vineyards Malbec (Mendoza)
- $13
Big, grapey and whole on the nose, and then lound, large and ripe in the mouth, with ringing acidity, bold berry flavors and a warm, oily, earthy finish. A solid wine that gets it mostly right.
— M.S.
