Tilia 2010 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
Crisp and a little minty smelling, with wild berry and dry spice as the primary aromas. It’s thick and chunky but well balanced, with sweet, slightly medicinal flavors of black fruits and mint. Solid and smooth on the finish.

Tilia 2009 Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Light, airy, tropical and very nice for an under-$10 Argentine Chardonnay. The nose is nice and easy, while the flavors of orange, melon and lychee are tropical but seem right for the wine’s body and acidity. Easygoing as they come, with a hint of sweetness on the finish.

Tilia 2007 Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Mostly it’s clean and neutral smelling, but there is a bit of candle wax and peach to the nose as well. The palate is fresh and not too weighty, with melon, sweet apple and honeyed flavors. A solid wine, especially for the price range and origin. Don’t expect miracles and it should be pleasing.

Tilia 2007 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
Dark and full-bodied, with a big bouquet of coconut, char and blackberry. The palate is thick and chunky, and that seems right given the wine’s sweet black-fruit and chocolate flavors. Add in some oak, baking spice and mocha and you’ve got a solid, tasty, generous wine.

Tilia 2009 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $9
Sweet and savory aromas of hickory, BBQ and plum jam are nice, while the body is structured and full. The flavors follow the nose, meaning there’s a savory, roasted quality to the wine but also jammy raspberry fruit notes. Chewy and a bit marinated, but it’s quite good for the price.

Tilia 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Big and purple, with ripe aromas of black fruits and bacon. The mouth is filling and full, with oaky blackberry, coffee and mildly roasted flavors. Turns more lush and soft on the finish, which is long and tastes of fig paste and prunes. Gets it done for the most part.

Tilia 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Full on the nose, but there seems to be some brett resulting in aromatic hints of hard cheese and leather. There’s energy on the palate, with lemony notes preceding core flavors of cola, cassis and kirsch. Ripe and sweet, but with nothing out of the ordinary. Good Cabernet for the price, but not what you’d call interesting or exciting.

Tilia 2009 Malbec-Syrah (Mendoza)
- Best Buy
- $10
Opens with soft black fruit aromas, and later orange peel and floral notes enter the picture. This is a ripe style of wine with body and heft. Blackberry, sweet black plum, chocolate and brown sugar control the flavor profile, and while it’s sweet and arguably confected, overall it’s a solid blend of two hearty grapes.
— M.S.
