Tupun 2005 Reserva Bonarda (Tupungato)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Nice on the nose, with masculine, dense aromas of ripe berry fruits. The palate begins snappy and gets more sheering as the wine unfolds; in the meantime, the cherry, berry and plum flavors are more compact than candied. Well-done for Bonarda, but slightly narrow and grabbing the more you get to know it.

Tupun 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Tupungato)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
A long with aromas of dried cheese, earth and rubber, there’s enough clean black fruit to bring it home. The palate is snappy and fresh, with edgy, lively plum and berry flavors. The finish is short but offers some flashes of quality. Basic but solid Cab.

Tupun 2006 Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Floral, young and jumpy smelling, with gumball aromas that leave you with the impression that the wine’s clarity, balance and purity may be tenuous. The palate is raw but fresh, with simple but snappy wild berry flavors. Not a lot of structure or depth here.

Tupun 2005 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Licorice and char on the nose hint at size and ripeness, but the palate does not deliver. Tart raspberry and red-plum flavors are sweet for a fleeting moment and then decidedly sour, while the finish is bland. Shows a few positives but overall it’s too snappy and sharp for Malbec.
