Lagarde 2010 Primeras Viñas Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $49

This old-vines Malbec is ripe to the max as it teeters towards raisniny but pulls back with the help of graphite and mild herbal aromas. The palate is big and forward, with a slight acidic bite that keeps it fresher than some hefty Argentine Malbecs. As for flavors, look for a mix of oak, plum, blackberry, tomato and herbs in front of a complex finish. Drink now… — M.S. (5/1/2013)

Lagarde 2007 Henry Lagarde Guarda Red (Mendoza)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $20

Outstanding red wine for the price. Henry is a blend of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, and it’s clean, generous, lush, complex and highly satisfying for $20. The nose is clean and deep, while the pure palate features cola, blackberry, cassis and toast. Modern in style but not overdone. Drink now through 2012. — M.S. (12/31/2009)

Lagarde 2007 Henry Gran Guarda No. 1 Red (Mendoza)

Price $65

A deep, developed wine with cola, licorice and prune aromas. The palate is poised and balanced even if it’s rich and very ripe. Layered in the mouth, with plum, prune, chocolate, coffee and fine spice, which is about as complete a package as you’ll find with Malbec. Cabernet and Syrah; drink now through 2015. — M.S.

Lagarde 2007 Henry Lagarde Single Vineyard Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $20

Nice and pure, with controlled berry aromas, a dash of pepper and integrated background oak. A tasty, easy-to-drink wine with fine balance and fresh flavors of cherry, raspberry, cassis, chocolate and a medicinal finish. Good depth, length and size throughout. Delicious Malbec. — M.S. (2/1/2010)

Lagarde 2006 Henry Gran Guarda Red (Mendoza)

Price $50

Smoky and sultry smelling, with berry jam aromas and ample subtleties. The palate is tannic and lively, like a good, masculine youngster should be. And the flavors of raspberry and plum are vivid and smack hard against the inside of your cheeks. Could use a year, but it’s drinkable now with steak. — M.S. (8/1/2009)

Lagarde 2007 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Best Buy

Price $15

Intense, saturated and well balanced, with touches of motor oil, earth and herbs on the nose. The palate is flush and mouthfilling, with proper tannic bite, fine acidity and stylish flavors of blackberry and raspberry. — M.S. (8/1/2009)

Lagarde 2007 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $15

Lagarde regularly makes consistent, true wines and this Cab is compact, solid and smooth, with spice and a lot of berry fruit on the nose. Refined, deep and pure on the palate, with blackberry, marzipan and licorice flavors. Very nice Argentine Cabernet for the money. Drink now into 2011. — M.S. (2/1/2010)

points

Lagarde 2009 Primeras Viñas Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Price $49

The jammy, sweet berry aromas are suggestive of blueberry, cookie and graham cracker. It feels condensed and a bit reduced, with mild tannins and flavors of blueberry, blackberry and herb accents. It’s not rough but definitely ripe and flamboyant, with a big, jammy personality. — M.S. (10/1/2012)
