Medanos 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Firm and leathery smelling, with a drying, oaky nose and then lifted, sweet flavors of jammy raspberry and cassis. The fruit here is riper than many ’08 Cabs, and while it’s a bit lean in feel, it tastes good and offers ample spice for balance.

Medanos 2009 Tempranillo (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Fiery berry aromas come across sort of rough and scratchy. The palate is softer and more creamy, with vanilla, berry and pepper flavors. Finishes toasty and peppery, albeit slightly bitter.

Medanos NV Extra Brut Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
The clean look, nice bead and good mouthfeel are the saving graces here, because it smells strange, almost like steamed ballpark hot dogs, and it tastes odd and innocuous, like papaya juice. The look and feel are good but the smell and tastes are not so great.

Medanos 2006 Malbec (Mendoza)
- $14
Malbec seems like the best bet for this organic label, which has shown some shaky wines alongside this. Even this one has a mild lactic, pasty streak to the nose along with raspberry and peppery spice. Lacks the cuddle and depth of the better Argentine Malbecs.

Medanos NV Extra Brut Sparkling (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Airy and inoffensive on the nose, with a hint of apple. It’s fresh but clumsy on the palate, with a rough feel and slightly mealy flavors of cider and white pepper. Citrusy, with a touch of burn on the finish.

Medanos 2010 Made with organic grapes Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- $17
Smells stemmy and stalky, with a green note and a whiff of corn. It’s lemony and not bad in terms of feel, with stalky peach and orange flavors. Basic and citrusy on the finish.
— M.S.

Medanos 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- $14
Volatile at first, with more than a hint of vinegar to the nose. Airing helps it along, revealing brambly fruit along with tough tannins. Smells too much like a dairy; barely worth a look.

Medanos 2005 Tempranillo (Mendoza)
- $14
Port, anyone? This is a prune-filled, raisiny wine. Naturally, it lacks balance and mouthfeel, which is replaced by a grating, starchy feel. Overall it has a few redeeming qualities and an okay finish.
