Wine from Argentina

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Refined and rich-tasting, with effusive minerality to the red berry and cherry flavors, lathered with plenty of creamy accents. Pepper and cigar box notes show on the long and complex finish. Drink now through 2022...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The purple-colored 2006 Poesia, sourced from an 80-year-old vineyard in Lujan de Cuyo, was barrel fermented and aged for 18 months in new French oak. It is a blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. It exhibits a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2007 Poesia has a more pastille-like bouquet with vivacious small dark cherries, blueberry and a touch of boysenberry that exudes more minerality than previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied and very elegant...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Beautiful dark fruit and raspberry character. Full body, velvety tannins and bright fruit. Pretty and drinkable. A pure and delicious wine. Drink or hold.

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Gorgeous aromas of dark fruit, spices and plums. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a savory aftertaste. Drink now.

jamessuckling.com, 91 points: Big morello cherry and blueberry fruit as well as hints of earth and spices (and restrained oak!). Moderately tannic. A clean finish. Rather fascinating. Easy to drink now.

Decanter, 91 points: Founded in 1831 and bought by Donald Hess in 2001, this is not only Argentina's oldest winery but also the owner of some exceptional high altitude vineyards - in fact the highest in the world at 3,111 metres above sea...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2013 Malbec Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard is produced with grapes from the vineyard that names it--a vineyard planted in 1997 in the Altamira zone of Valle de Uco. It's mostly Malbec with some 4% Cabernet Franc, but...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Blackberry and blueberry aromas with hints of spice and bark. Perfumed. Full body, layered, chewy and polished. Deep and beautiful with so much dark fruit and intensity. Stone and chalk at the finish. Powerful. Drink in...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Fascinating aromas of dried flowers and dark currants. Full to medium body with bright fruit and a delicate finish. Turns to chocolate and sweet tobacco. Drink now.

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This is a ringer for a top Chinon. A crazy blend of malbec, cab franc and pinot noir. And it's made in concrete amphoras that are buried in the same vineyard. Very crazy wine. Full body, silky and rich with so much plum...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The top of the range, the 2013 Decero Amano Remolinos Vineyard is superb in a fresh vintage like 2013. This time the blend was 65% Malbec, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Tannat. The élevage might sound a...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: (92+) Bright, dark red. Shows blacker fruits on the nose than the 2012 Cabernet, along with complicating notes of bitter chocolate, spices and dried flowers. Then broad, dense and light on its feet, with flavors of plum...
