$19.95 – Catena Cabernet Sauvignon
What You Can Expect: An old favourite worth the revisit and James Suckling agrees with me giving it 93 points. An elegant, full bodied and concentrated wine with a solid finish. Buy lots, it only gets better with age.
$19.95 – Catena Cabernet Sauvignon
What the Experts say: Nicolás Catena utilizes the fruit of four different vineyards, at altitudes ranging from 945 meters to 1,524 meters, to create this full-bodied and concentrated wine. Generous black fruit, cassis and black pepper with sensual tannins. Enjoy with...
$14.25 – Argento Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2015
Argento’s entry-level Cab almost made this list too (36 Under 18, 2018), but it’s worth paying a few dollars more for this approachable Reserva that has been evolving with age. Deep purple, with cassis, smoke and plums on the nose, and a palate of mixed berries and...
$17.95 – Altaland Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
This is a different style of Cab. Lighter and fruitier, they claim to breaking the Cab mold with this one. Personally I don’t think the Cab mold needed to be broken. Some will like it but did not do much for me. It was OK with some pre-dinner appetizers. Will not...
$24.95 – Fabre Montmayou Gran Reserva Malbec 2015
What the Experts say: Intense, pure black fruits, leaves and spices leap from the glass with oak spice and tarry undertones. There are oak spice and plummy flavours on the palate and a floral element. Well-integrated acidity underpins the fruit purity and lengthy...
$15.00 – Trapiche Broquel Malbec 2017
It screams high altitude with its acidity and rich, dark flavours. Fairly polished for the price, with herbal notes of blackberry, black plum, mocha, spice and graphite, but still silky. Excellent value here. 88.5
$16.45 – Don David Reserve Malbec 2017
A high-altitude cultivation but with a softer, floral nose of black cherry jubilee and raisins, woodsy spices and much softer tannins than I expected. Medium- to full-bodied with a long, juicy finish. Pair it up with steak or sausages. 89
$11.00 – Argento Seleccion Malbec – ONE AND DONE
What the Experts say: Bright ruby red colour; fresh raspberry, cherry, sweet plum compote and milk chocolate aromas with hints of violets and herbs; dry, medium bodied, with balanced acidity and silky tannins supporting flavours of ripe black fruits. What do I think:...
