Zorzal 2008 Climax Malbec (Tupungato)
- $45
Berry fruit aromas blend nicely with cola, forest, toast and barrel aromas. It’s crisp yet deep in the mouth, with smacking tannins and just enough cushion to soften things up. Minty and woody tasting, with berry, tobacco and peppery flavors on the palate and finish.

Zorzal 2010 Malbec (Tupungato)
- $15
Floral red fruit aromas settle on raspberry and plum, and there’s not much obvious oak or darkness. Round and juicy on the palate, with spicy and sweet blackberry along with clove. Integrated and solid, with a lightly toasted, chocolaty finish.

Zorzal 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec (Tupungato)
- $23
A lot of olive and leather give this wine’s nose a “green” personality that suggests lightly cured tobacco and fresh herbs. The palate is big and grabby, with herbal, roasted berry flavors along with coffee and spice notes. Layered but firm on the finish, with a lasting tannic bite. 75% Cabernet with 25% Malbec.

Zorzal 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza)
- $15
Earthy, roasted and condensed on the nose, with a compact, structured palate housing tight plum and cherry flavors. Shows freshness, lift and a good step, with a juicy finish and racy acids.
— M.S.

Zorzal 2008 Malbec (Mendoza)
- $15
Hard, roasted and rubbery aromas suggest compost and autumn leaves. The palate is tight and layered, but tannic, with black fruit flavors, heavy spice notes and herbal leanings. Finishes with leafy notes, licorice and bitterness.

Zorzal 2009 Chardonnay (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Aromas of mealy apple and citrus are less than inviting, while the palate is citrusy but lacking in true Chardonnay character; instead it shows odd flavors of ham and orange juice. Ranks as yet another uninspired Argentine Chard in a long line of such wines.

Zorzal 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Was probably better a year or two ago; now it’s losing steam and smelling and tasting oily and pithy. Aromas of almond skins denote old age, and while there’s still vital acidity and leftover citrus flavors, it’s fast approaching its deadline. Best to wait for the 2010, or even the 2011.

Zorzal 2009 Reserve Pinot Noir (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Dark and heavily extracted, with a big, rubbery, gaseous bouquet that foretells the rest of the wine, which is herbal and full-bodied, with baked plum and berry flavors. Finishes oaky, with drying tannins and heat.
— M.S.
