Weinert 2005 Malbec (Mendoza)

Editors' Choice

Price $25

This is a prime example that Argentine Malbec can age and improve in the bottle. It’s an earthy-smelling wine, with aromas of brick dust, baked bean, molasses and dried red fruit. Smooth and classy in the mouth but still acid rich, it has integrated flavors of hard spice and berry. Drink now. — M.S. (8/1/2012)

Weinert 2002 Malbec (Mendoza)

Price $23

Cavas Weinert is an old-school Mendoza winery and it holds its wines longer than most, which is why this 2002 is just now a new release. Thank Weinert for the bottle age and give this wine plenty of air. What you’ll get is earth, leather, complexity, depth and ample berry fruit and chocolate. Decant for best results. — M.S.

Weinert 2005 Carrascal Red (Mendoza)

Best Buy

Price $15

One of the best $15 red blends being made today. Carrascal gives us 45% Malbec, 35% Merlot and 20% Cabernet in rock-solid form. The nose has toast, mineral, balsam wood and good berry fruit, and the palate provides the troika of cherry, raspberry and plum with no interference or oaky gimmicks. Pleasant, warm and long on the finish. — M.S. (8/1/2009)

Weinert 2006 Carrascal Red (Mendoza)

Price $22

A bit rusty in color and mature, but that’s what makes this wine different than most. It’s earthy, a bit leathery and muddled, and slightly baked. But it’s also subdued, mellow and sturdy, with lighter tannins and hints of herbs to go with finely roasted berry and tomato flavors. Integrated, long and spicy late. Drink now through 2012. — M.S.

Weinert 2006 Merlot (Mendoza)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

While this smells directly from the Old World, it’s appealing and unique in style for Argentina. For starters, it’s mature, bordering on old. Because of vital acidity, it’s in good shape, with stewed berry, tobacco, spice and chocolate flavors. On the finish, pepper and bitter coffee notes enter the picture. Drink this one-of-a-kind Merlot now. — M.S. (5/1/2013)

Weinert 2007 Carrascal Red (Mendoza)

Price $16

Weinert holds its wines back longer than almost any other Argentine winery, hence when you get a blend like this it’s mature and ready. This is maderized, with aromas of earth, citrus, tobacco and mushroom. The palate is tight and houses tobacco, mocha, citrus and dried raspberry flavors. If you like aged Rioja, this is for you. The blend is Malbec, Cabernet and Merlot. — M.S. (5/1/2013)

Weinert 2004 Cavas de Weinert Gran Vino Red (Mendoza)

Online Exclusive

Price $28

Rustic and leathery smelling, the nose has hints of bell pepper, jalapeño and tomato. It feels mildly astringent but has good structure. The flavors of dried red fruit, tobacco, herb and sweet spice are mature and classic, and the finish has a good feel. This is a blend of 40% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot. Drink now. — M.S. (8/1/2012)

Weinert 2002 Gran Vino Red (Mendoza)

Price $28

Weinert has always pushed the more traditional, less extracted style. And this Bordeaux blend shows a nose of light spice, cinnamon, wet clay and subdued berry fruit. The palate is earthy, with hints of tomato, herbs, raspberry and cocoa. It’s a drying wine, with grabby tannins, but it should age well for another few years. Drink now or hold through 2011. — M.S. (12/31/2008)
