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.

- $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 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 2012 Torrontés (Salta)
- $14
Typical for the variety, this is tropical smelling on top, with peach-pit aromas on the bottom of the bouquet. The palate feels round and level, with lemon, lime and papaya flavors. Things finish long and citrusy, with moderate pithy bitterness.

Filus 2005 Alto Medrano Merlot (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Despite a young, jumpy and jammy beginning, this wine soon finds a groove that includes ripe cherry and berry flavors backed by a nice mouthfeel and a full finish that keeps its form. If there’s the smallest bit of green on the nose and flavor it’s forgiven by overall good quality.
