Sort By:

Sur de los Andes 2006 Gran Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $20

Deep purple in color and fierce on the nose; there’s no shortage of piercing French oak aromas to send this one on its way. But once it settles, the oak supports classy blackberry, boysenberry and peppery flavors along with a structured, dense mouthfeel. — M.S. (8/1/2009)

Sur de los Andes 2004 Reserve Malbec (Mendoza)

Best Buy

Price $13

Guillermo Banfi’s Sur de los Andes and Alma de los Andes wines are excellent across the board. This reserve-level holdover from 2004 offers mint, chocolate and leather aromas in front of ripe cherry and raspberry flavors. Almost crisp and choppy, but on the other hand precise and zesty. Not unlike a very good Dolcetto from Italy. — M.S. (5/1/2007)

Sur de los Andes 2005 Malbec (Mendoza)

Best Buy

Price $9

Everything you want in a value Malbec is on display here. The nose is big and muscular, with ripe fruit aromas and touch of earth and mushroom. Meanwhile, the palate is all black fruit all the time; it shows girth and chocolate in front of a finish that lasts a good while. — M.S. (5/1/2007)

Sur de los Andes 2006 Infinito Red (Mendoza)

Online Exclusive

Price $30

Spunky dark fruit aromas open the show, with leather, cheese and mocha coming in later. The palate is a little grabby and acidic, but the juicy flavors of plum, wild berry, citrus and cassis are good. Finishes with some bounce in its step due to full acidity, and overall it maintains freshness and zest. Malbec with smaller doses of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and… — M.S. (2/1/2010)

Sur de los Andes 2006 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $15

Pure and stout, with prime black-fruit aromas supported by toasty oak and mineral-like char. Blackberry is the lead flavor on the thick, dense palate, while the finish is solid if a little sedentary. Nicely focused and forward; probably what most people are looking for from Argentinean Malbec. — M.S. (8/1/2009)

Sur de los Andes 2010 Bonarda (Mendoza)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $12

Exotic on the nose, with aromas of raspberry, plum and blueberry. Shows good intensity on the palate, with a solid feel and fresh flavors of blackberry and dark plum. Fresh but smooth on the finish; very good in every way. — M.S. (5/1/2012)

Sur de los Andes 2008 Torrontés (Mendoza)

Best Buy

Price $10

Here is how you get Torrontés right. The nose sheds dusty lemon and apple blossom aromas, which are followed by lemon-lime and citrus flavors. The palate has solid density and stuffing, and the finish evolves toward orange and pineapple. — M.S. (8/1/2009)

Sur de los Andes 2007 Malbec (Mendoza)

Best Buy

Price $10

Give this young Malbec some time to settle and it rounds into form. The nose goes from funky to finished in a few minutes, while the cherry and cola flavors run with ease toward a lightly tannic finish. Straightforward and likable once it finds its legs. — M.S. (8/1/2009)
