Tango Sur 2004 Merlot (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $9
Ripe, tight and fresh, this is what everyday Merlot should be like. There’s some roast meat and leather atop cherry on the nose, and behind that there’s black fruit, leather, bacon and pepper flavors. A totally legitimate table wine for a good price.

Tango Sur 2004 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $9
Tasty and juicy, like a value Malbec should be. The nose hints at rubber and bacon, but mostly it sports round plum and berry aromas. The palate offers equal amounts of black cherry and raspberry, and the finish is mildly toasty, with a smack of pepper. Shows guts and substance. Imported by Tastings Import Company.

Tango Sur 2003 Shiraz (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $8
The earthy plum aromas seem common, as if you’ve been there before. Flavors of plum, berry and rhubarb, however, are fresh and zesty. Good on the palate and healthy, with decent tannins and some chocolate to the finish.

Tango Sur 2003 Tempranillo (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $8
Clean and medium weight, with simple red-fruit and cherry-cola aromas. Forward plum and berry carry the palate, which spreads out with no frills over the finish. Somewhat smoky and burnt on the aftertaste, but still pretty good mainstream stuff.

Tango Sur 2003 Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $8
Clean, simple and unadulterated, with a pleasant roundness and pure, ripe fruit. The flavors veer toward green apple, citrus and pineapple, while the finish is warm and clean. An easy, satisfying wine.

Tango Sur 2004 Shiraz (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Blueberry jam and some violet-like aromas get it off the mark, with plum and black cherry flavors playing second fiddle. Mildly tart and zesty in terms of feel, with a light finish. Mainstream all the way.

Tango Sur 2004 Rosé Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Rubber and funk on the nose give way to cleaner cherry. Flavors of strawberry and raspberry are a bit dilute but not watery. Light and smooth enough late, with a bit of bubble gum but no flab.

Tango Sur 2003 Malbec (Mendoza)
- $8
Ripe and heavy on the nose, with hints of stewed plum, berries and chocolate. More chunky prune and plum follows in the mouth. Entirely drinkable but not refined.
