Tempus Alba 2008 Malbec (Mendoza)
- $20
Begins in chunky, jammy fashion but soon it finds a classier groove. The berry aromas are big and inviting, while the palate is smooth, cushioned and deep, with standard but attractive berry and black plum flavors. Long on the finish, with the sum exceeding each part.

Tempus Alba 2003 Preludio Syrah (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A touch damp and mealy at first, although it clears up when given time. The palate features slightly salty fruit in the plum and blackberry family, while the mouthfeel is sticky, bordering on rich. Stays the course with little to no variation, but what’s here is pretty good.

Tempus Alba 2009 8 mo in 70% Fr and 30% US oak Malbec (Mendoza)
- $18
Generic red berry aromas show a stalky element as well. The palate is juicy and acidic, with a pointed quality that makes the feel a little hard. Flavors of standard red berry are sweet but undistinguished. Good but regular.

Tempus Alba 2007 Tempranillo (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Cheesy and way too earthy and murky to be rewarded with anything higher than an acceptable rating. The feel is scratchy and raw, while the flavors seem roasted, overly earthy and dry.
