Buttercup and lemon aromas may not be overpowering but they are true to the variety. The flavors of melon and preserved tropical fruits work on the wine’s fuller-bodied, almost creamy frame. Finishes warm but peachy, with an oily texture. Drink right away.

St. Lucas 2006 Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- $11
Seems as though St. Lucas’s white wines are more sturdy than its reds. This Chard is fleshy and won’t last much longer, but for dense melon, peach and cider-like flavors and relatively good balance, it’s making the grade. Plump and tropical on the finish as it battles to stay in line.

St. Lucas 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Black fruit aromas blend with rubber to give the impression of hot tar, while the palate is higher in acid than expected, leaving a flavor profile of zesty raspberry and black cherry. Heat and black licorice stir up the finish. Decent but limited.

St. Lucas 2005 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
A thick wine that doesn’t bring the ripeness, sweetness and balance that’s necessary. The nose is filled with milk chocolate, mint and cough syrup, while the palate is surprisingly tangy and sharp, with cranberry and wild raspberry flavors.

St. Lucas 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
The aromas are sort of mealy and flat, and frankly the palate keeps that tune. There’s pulpy white fruit and then a flat-lining finish that tastes of dried peach and melon.

Undefined black fruit aromas are average at best, while the cherry fruit is decent but citric. This wine shows too little to warrant much attention; it’s brittle but persisent, with thin, cleansing acids throughout.

St. Lucas 2008 Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Heavy and slightly vegetal smelling, with a flat feel and flavors of banana, pineapple and vanilla. Chunky, soft and bitter on the finish. Like tropical fruit juice; bears hardly any resemblance to textbook Chardonnay.

St. Lucas 2008 Torrontés (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Melony and mealy, with heavy, flat flavors of peach pits and apple cider. Flat feeling as well, with barely a pulse to the finish. Past its prime and fading faster than a comet.
