Gauchezco 2009 Plata Malbec (Mendoza)
- $25
Spicy, concentrated aromas of leather, berry fruit and dried cheddar cheese lead to a lush, balanced palate with heft, acidity and tasty flavors of chocolate, coffee and spiced blackberry. Full, long and flavorful on the finish. A big Malbec but one that’s well balanced.

Gauchezco 2009 Malbec (Mendoza)
- $15
Composed up front, with floral aromas matching wits with dry herb notes and solid berry fruit scents. The palate is snappy and crisp, with focus and narrow, tight flavors of raspberry and plum blended with vanilla. Bright and juicy throughout, with vanilla and toast on the finish.

Gauchezco 2010 Torrontés (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $14
With its tropical melony aromas and crisp palate, this comes across as rock-solid Torrontés. It’s tight and tastes of lime and pineapple. There’s an exactness to this wine, sort of like savoring a perfect lime. Not complicated but very satisfying; drink immediately for maximum freshness.

Gauchezco 2008 Oro Malbec (Mendoza)
- $45
Giant and black, with extracted but pruney aromas that are sweet and raisiny. The palate is chunky, with raisin, fig and black plum flavors. Sweet but falls flat on the finish; has its good qualities but frankly it’s an overripe wine.

Gauchezco 2011 Torrontés (Salta)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Tropical fruit aromas quickly fade to bubble bath and soap. Has good acidity, with sweet, almost artificial tasting orange flavors ending with some heat and oily aggression, a frequent pitfall of the variety.

Gauchezco 2010 Malbec Rosé (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Funky smelling, with a mix of sweat, hot summer field and leather. It’s more fresh in the mouth, with adequate acidity and stalky, slightly minty flavors mixed with mild berry notes.

Gauchezco 2008 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Dark purple in color, but more leafy and murky than you’d expect on the nose. The palate has texture and weight, but it’s also kind of dull feeling, which matches the wine’s chunky, dull flavors. Decent enough, but still too herbal and challenged.
