Viña Maipu 2007 Roble Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Candied and a bit stemmy on the nose, with sweet cherry flavors that carry a slight weedy, herbal accent. The palate is medium in weight, with a creamy, mildly grassy finish of milk chocolate and raspberry.

Viña Maipu 2008 Sublimis Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This wine may be darker and oakier than Maipu’s regular ’07 Malbec, but it isn’t substantially better. It has heavy black-fruit aromas and a sweet, clammy palate of jammy blackberry. Caramel and chocolate flavors make the finish thick and sweet.

Viña Maipu 2003 Malbec (Maipú)
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Starts with aromas of strawberry and raspberry, but to be honest they’re a touch green and grassy. On the palate, there’s plum and chocolate, and late in the game it’s all about milk chocolate. Not complex but decent.

Viña Maipu 2006 Sublimis Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Nothing much sublime about Sublimis. The nose is reedy and sweet, with licorice and overripe raisiny aromas. The palate is big and grabby, with clamp-down tannins and hard, crusty raisiny flavors. A bruising red without elegance.
— M.S.
