Gardel 2010 Vendimia Especial Bonarda (Mendoza)

  1. $20
This is fresh, showing plenty of pop on the fruit-filled bouquet. It feels wide and jammy, yet grabby and dry because of its firm tannins. Typical of Bonarda, it’s full of ripe black-fruit flavors and licorice, while the structured finish makes for a good ending.  — M.S.  (10/1/2012)

Gardel 2009 Colección Malbec (Mendoza)

  1. $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.  — M.S.  (8/1/2011)

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.  — M.S.  (8/1/2011)

Black in color, this wine has reduced aromas of blueberry, cumin and bitter chocolate. Thick and generous in the mouth, but also rugged, with sweet blackberry and bacon flavors and a lot of toasty-oak influence.  — M.S.  (8/1/2012)

Candied and green on the nose, with odd spice scents. The palate is lean in weight and hollow in the middle, with simple red fruit, cough drop and caramel flavors. Finishes basic and short.  — M.S.  (11/1/2011)
