Valle de la Puerta 2009 La Puerta Alta Bonarda (Famatina Valley)
- $15
Starts out earthy and gaseous but the bouquet settles on round, full blackberry aromas. Lush, grabby and full in the mouth, with bold blackberry flavors that are clean, forward, uncomplicated and even a bit elegant. Tastes good and comes across smooth and polished for Bonarda.

Valle de la Puerta 2007 La Puerta Gran Reserva Red (Famatina Valley)
- $40
Bold and pruney, with herbal, soft, ultraripe aromas in front of a jumpy yet partially stewed palate. This blend of Malbec with Bonarda and Syrah is your typical huge, tannic bruiser with big extract, huge tannins and just enough acidity to keep it pumping. Pretty good and perfectly drinkable, but a little over the edge.

Valle de la Puerta 2008 Reserva Bonarda (Famatina Valley)
- $19
Tight berry aromas lead the way, followed by a lively but aggressive palate with jammy, sweet, candied berry flavors. Turns a little syrupy and sweet on the finish, but overall it succeeds in a generic sort of way.

Valle de la Puerta 2010 La Puerta Syrah (Famatina Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Earthy and murky smelling, with hard, clamping tannins and a leafy, herbal, burnt character to the plum-packed palate. Bitter and peppery on the finish.
