Pure and striking from the start, with menthol aromas that come with blackberry and cassis. Feels dense and concentrated, with blackberry, prune and dark spice flavors. Layered, mellow and slight jammy on the multitiered finish. Drink now.

Gouguenheim Winery 2006 Red Melosa Flores del Valle (Mendoza)

Floral and attractive on the bouquet, with citrus peel, light raspberry, cassis and lift. The palate runs tannic and fresh, with crisp black cherry and kirsch flavors that flow seamlessly into layered tobacco and mild herbal notes. A sophisticated red made from Malbec, Cabernet and Bonarda.

Gouguenheim Winery 2008 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $13
Round, earthy and full, with leather, spice and several other good things floating about the nose. The palate has a crisp and zesty feel, with bright plum and berry flavors accented by spice, herb and a touch of buttery oak. Solid, tight and stylish for the price.

Gouguenheim Winery 2004 Verano Merlot (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Probably this winery’s best current release; the nose is forward, spicy, fruity and convincing. Follow that with bright cherry and berry flavors along with a finish that’s got medium tannins in support of spice and coffee, and you have a well-priced winner. What affordable red wine was meant to be.

Gouguenheim Winery 2009 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
As prices for Argentinean Malbecs climb, this is a really good value. It’s earthy and full, and slightly rustic on the nose. Feels ripe and rugged, with scratchy tannins supporting red berry and oak-based vanilla notes. Feels fresh and good for a large-production Malbec.

Gouguenheim Winery 2010 Momentos del Valle Pinot Noir (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Shockingly good for $10 Argentine Pinot. It’s easy on the nose, with milk chocolate and raspberry aromas. The palate is juicy, tight and well balanced, with lightly roasted plum fruit, spice and mild barrel notes. Dry, spicy and honest on the finish.

Gouguenheim Winery 2003 Flores de Valle Melosa Azul Malbec (Mendoza)
- $26
Deep, a touch rugged, and lively, with berry aromas accented by strong whiffs of citrus peel, especially lemon rind. Flavors of black raspberry and cassis are convincing, while the palate is textured, with smooth tannins and integrated acids. Balanced overall; one of this winery’s best offerings to date.

Gouguenheim Winery 2009 Merlot (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Composed and dry Merlot made somewhat in an Old World style. Cola, tobacco and basic berry fruit aromas come in front of a juicy, high-acid palate. Tastes spicy and toasty, with plum and red berry flavors. Fresh and clean; best with food.
