Gardel 2009 Colección Malbec (Mendoza)
- $15
Starts out with some heaviness and aromas of fresh cement and lacquer. With airing it improves, revealing a high-acid, fresh palate with raspberry, saline and herbal flavors. Roasted and firm on the finish, with a bit of excess heat.

Gardel 2009 Colección Bonarda (Mendoza)
- $15
Spicy, hard aromas blend with pasty black fruit scents. The palate is big and lively, with baked flavors of blackberry and dark plum. Turns tight on the finish, which is crisp and tannic. Good Bonarda and a food-friendly wine.

Gardel 2009 Vendimia Especial Bonarda (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Hard, dark and spicy up front, then clampy, tannic and aggressive feeling, with astringency and bitter, burnt, oaky flavors of black fruits. Finishes hard and tannic, with rubbery heat. A case of more being less; needs to be dialed down.
