Finca El Origen 2009 El Origen Gran Reserva Malbec (Uco Valley)
- $20
A little charred and hard on the nose, with licorice, pepper, mint and coffee aromas. The palate is perfectly balanced and quite generous, with massive blackberry and chocolate flavors. Spicy and long on the finish, with mocha notes. Definitely a ripe, big-boned wine.

Dense and solid from the start, with deep plum, wild berry and earth aromas. Ripe, whole and nice on the palate, with crusty blackberry, chocolate and spice flavors. Finishes lightly toasted, with comportment. Real good for everyday Malbec.

Finca El Origen 2008 Reserva Torrontés (Cafayate)
- Best Buy
- $11
Floral and lychee aromas and flavors are true to the variety and the Salta region, and overall this is the style of Torrontés we can recommend. It's fresh and bracing, but also round and deep. Citrus, lychee, mango and kiwi flavors all play a role, and the finish has length and purity. Imported by Carolina Wine Brands USA.

Finca El Origen 2009 Reserva Torrontés (Cafayate)
- Best Buy
- $11
Light, inoffensive, mildly salinic and sporting melon, lychee and lime aromas and flavors. This is yet another basic, clean, generic, slightly pithy Torrontés made for immediate consumption. Smells nice, tastes good and goes down without a fuss.

Finca El Origen 2010 Malbec Rosé (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $9
Berry and rubber band are the lead aromas. The wine has texture and lasting freshness despite being more than a year old already. It’s medium in size and body, with red fruit and apple skin flavors. Solid, fruity and just lively enough.

Finca El Origen 2010 Reserva Torrontés (Cafayate)
- $12
A bit heavy and oily on first blush, with tropical fruit aromas resting underneath the surface. The palate is round and full, almost syrupy, with honeyed citrus and pithy flavors. Turns more pithy and a little hot on the finish.

Finca El Origen 2010 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Uco Valley)

Opens with rubbery, gaseous aromas that morph into latex and finally briary berry. The palate has a highly regular, tannic feel along with minty, generic flavors of berry and herbs. Basil and spice notes show up on the mildly green finish. Contains 15% Malbec and Syrah.
