La Posta 2009 Estela Armando Vineyard Bonarda (Mendoza)
- $17
Blueberry and other sweet berry aromas are flowery but not very staunch or dark. The palate has a high acidity level and a scouring feel to go with tart, driving cherry and red plum flavors. Scratchy, zesty and crisp on the finish, with tight tannins that draw down.

- $15
Sort of sweet and gaseous to start, with rubbery, medicinal aromas. The palate is tight and closed, with warm, crusty dark-fruit flavors, an herbal influence and heat. Thus the finish is a little fiery and peppery, and there’s chop and bite to the overall feel. A kitchen-sink blend of Malbec, Bonarda and Syrah.

La Posta 2004 Estela Armando Vineyard Bonarda (Mendoza)

- $17
Peppery is the first thing that comes to mind, while the palate seems gooey and sweet. More jammy, creamy and borderline sticky than balanced. Like a spoonful of straberry jam.

La Posta 2009 Pizzella Family Vineyard Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Woody and baked up front, its cooked, rubbery aromas setting set up a surprisingly sheer and sharp palate that’s short on substance and balance. Tastes generic, with linear acidity resulting in little cushion or mouthfeel.
— M.S.
