Verum 2010 Reserva Malbec (Alto Valle del Río Negro)
- $29
This wine blends the rich qualities of Malbec with proper acidity and tannic bite, and the result is excellent. Chocolaty aromas of berry fruits and leather set up a bouncy palate with oaky flavors of mocha, plum, herbs and spice. On the finish, it’s long and a touch minty. Drink now–2018.

Verum 2007 Patagonia Pinot Noir (Río Negro Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
An elevated, higher-quality style of Patagonian Pinot Noir. Verum has ripe, agile fruit aromas accented by bacon and vanilla from the barrel, while the balanced palate houses plucky cherry and raspberry flavors. Dry and spicy late, with delicacy. Drink now through 2011.

Verum 2012 Chardonnay (Alto Valle del Río Negro)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
For Argentina, this is about as fresh and clean as Chardonnay gets. The nose is pure but basic, with mineral and apple aromas. The palate feels good and correct, while flavors of banana, apple, melon and vanilla are solid but not overly powerful.

Verum 2010 Pinot Noir (Alto Valle del Río Negro)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Scratchy, dry raspberry aromas are standard and accurate for Pinot. The mouthfeel is tight and crisp, with gentle acids pushing standard strawberry, raspberry and oaky flavors of cocoa and spice. Mild tasting but long on the finish.

Verum 2010 Malbec (Alto Valle del Río Negro)
- $17
A blackened wine, with piercing, dense aromas of shoe polish, charred oak, dark spice and black fruit. It feels solid and juicy, with black-tasting flavors that focus on espresso and dark spice. The finish is a bit short on fruit.

Verum 2007 Patagonia Chardonnay (Río Negro Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Smells a bit too much like canned fruit and applesauce, while the palate is heavy, chunky and tastes of creamy, baked white fruits. Thick and decadent, with ample oak, vanilla and spice.

Verum 2007 Patagonia Merlot (Río Negro Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Aromas of brick dust, sweet spice, rubber and leather are good if you’re not seeking saturated berry fruit, while the palate is starchy and grabby, with flavors of stewed berry, tomato, leather and earth. Raspberry is detectable on the thin finish, but so is a soupy flavor. Decent wine with some faults.
