Sottano 2010 Judas Malbec (Mendoza)
- $90
Dark, dense and minty on the bouquet, which is sexy and magnetic. Saturated and jammy but still maintaining balance, and then a superconcentrated set of jammy blackberry flavors runs side by side with toasty oak and chocolate. Almost dessert-like on the finish. A very rich and modern style of Malbec.

Sottano 2008 Judas Malbec (Mendoza)
- $90
Opens like a luxury-level Malbec should; it’s dark and dense, with black cherry, smoke and rubbery aromas. The palate is deep and juicy, with bold, attractive black fruit, plum, tobacco and vanilla flavors. Smooth, healthy and drinkable now.

- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Opens with lovely blackberry and herb aromas that suggest richness and ripeness but not overt weight. It feels lush and deep, and tastes totally pleasant and easy, with black fruit, toast and pepper flavors. A thorough and balanced blend of Malbec, Cabernet and Syrah.

Sottano 2009 Judas Malbec (Mendoza)
- $90
Dark and deep smelling, with cola, berry and earth tones. Overall this is a cool and collected wine; it’s tight and structured, with firm tannins and attractive flavors of dark berry, coffee, chocolate and fine herbs. Toasty and still fairly oaky on the finish. Drink now through 2014.

Sottano 2010 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)
- $24
Chocolate and charcoal aromas form a dark and masculine greeting. There’s also coffee and an herbal note to the nose. Lush but not heavy, tannic or plodding, with powerful black fruit and herbal flavors. Runs deep and long on the finish; impressive.

Bold but also steady across the bouquet, with coconut, chocolate, mint and wild berry aromas. Forward and concentrated in the mouth, where ripe, generous black fruit flavors blend comfortably with chocolate and spice notes. Finishes with drive, mouthfeel and sly clove and nutmeg flavors.
