La Vuelta 2010 Unoaked Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $7
For the price you can’t go wrong with a wine like this. It’s flowery and fruity, and beyond that it doesn’t pretend to be more than it is. There’s a natural creaminess to the feel and full melon and white fruit flavors. Proof that some Chardonnays do better without oak.

La Vuelta 2009 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $8
Rubbery and warm on the nose, with good berry aromas that turn flatter under the microscope. The palate shows sweet, baked berry flavors and brown sugar, while the feel is round, gritty and full of life. Nice for $8.

La Vuelta 2009 Unoaked Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $8
A clean and easy style of Chardonnay with peach and melon aromas followed by a melony palate with nectarine and a touch of sweetness. It flattens out and loses intensity on the finish, but overall it’s totally drinkable and solid.

La Vuelta 2010 Torrontés (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $7
Dusty and subdued on the nose, but still friendly and varietally correct, with lychee and melon aromas. The palate is chunky, maybe a touch flatter than ideal, with citrus and lychee flavors. Finishes in regular fashion, with a pinch of bitterness and white pepper.

A little flat, but the nose is adequately melony, so give it points for that. The palate is on the plump, lower-acid side, so the green fruit and lychee flavors are fleshy. Finishes solid but soft. Drink this year.

La Vuelta 2010 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $7
Sweet and light smelling, with sugar cookie and blueberry aromas. The palate is medium in weight, with snappy acids and dry, lightly herbal flavors of raspberry and red plum. Mostly fresh on the finish, but with little volume or follow through.
