Alamos Malbec Mendoza 2024 — Mendoza, Argentina

Alamos is the approachable, everyday label from Catena Zapata — Argentina’s most celebrated wine family and the producer widely credited with putting Mendoza Malbec on the world map. While Catena’s flagship wines command serious prices, Alamos was created to deliver the same Andean terroir and winemaking philosophy at an accessible price point. Sourced from high-altitude Mendoza vineyards where the combination of intense sunlight, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils produces Malbec of exceptional depth and character.

The 2024 shows a deep ruby color with violet hues. The nose offers layers of dark cherry, blackberry, violet, and vanilla spice. On the palate, the wine is velvety and expansive, with balanced tannins and a long, smooth, lingering finish — complex and approachable in equal measure.

Catena Zapata’s everyday Malbec — Andean terroir, honest price, zero compromise.

Our project Avenida 67 is back after a few years of hiatus.

This time, we’ve teamed up with one of the most iconic Argentine winegrowing families — the Benegas-Lynch family. Fifth-generation producers in Mendoza, Argentina, their legacy is deeply rooted in the cradle of Argentine winemaking.

Avenida 67 was the first label I ever created for 67 Wine, so it carries tremendous sentimental value. Working with Tiburcio Benegas, who currently leads operations at Bodegas Benegas, has been an absolute pleasure. Tiburcio is a man of many talents, and preserving his family’s legacy is among his greatest passions.

Avenida 67 Malbec is crafted from 100% estate-grown grapes sourced from the Benegas-Lynch vineyards in Mendoza.

Zuccardi Q · Valle de Uco, Mendoza · 2024

Zuccardi Q Malbec 2024 captures the Uco Valley through black fruit, wild herbs and a dry, chalky texture. Sourced from Gualtallary, Los Chacayes and Altamira, it combines expressive fruit with freshness, precision and a mineral-driven finish.

Producer & Terroir

Zuccardi Valle de Uco brings together three generations of a family dedicated to wines that express their place of origin. In 1963, engineer Alberto “Tito” Zuccardi planted the family’s first vineyard in Mendoza to demonstrate a new irrigation system he had invented to meet the challenges of the desert. The project sparked a lasting passion for viticulture. His son José Alberto took the helm in 1985, carrying forward that innovative spirit and becoming an enthusiastic ambassador for Argentine wine.

In 1999, Sebastián Zuccardi, José Alberto’s son and Tito’s grandson, began a sparkling-wine project with friends in the Uco Valley. He later joined the family winery and led its development in the high mountain region. The family planted its first vineyards in Canal Uco, Paraje Altamira, in 2007, followed by Piedra Infinita and Los Membrillos in Paraje Altamira, Las Cuchillas in San Pablo, and Las Cerrilladas and Agua de La Jarilla in Gualtallary. Sebastián and his team continue to explore the personality of Argentine wines.

Sebastián Zuccardi
“I enjoy opening a bottle of wine and being able to travel to its place of origin. That’s why our wines tell the story of the place, our vision, and our interpretation of the terroir and the year of the harvest.”

In 2022, Zuccardi became the only winery in Argentina with three wines awarded 100 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, bringing further recognition to Paraje Altamira. That year, Wine Enthusiast named Zuccardi Valle de Uco “New World Winery of the Year.” The World’s Best Vineyards named it Best Vineyard in the World in 2019, 2020 and 2021, welcoming it into its Hall of Fame in 2022. These distinctions recognize the producer, not scores for this bottle.

Tasting Notes

Blackberry, plum and wild herbs meet savory and floral notes. The palate is dry and chalky, balancing refined richness with freshness and textural depth. A mineral-driven finish gives the fruit a focused, expressive close.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2024

James Suckling, 93 Points · 2024
This shows blackberries, tar and black ink on the nose. The palate is full-bodied with focused tannins, incisive acidity and a thin thread of fruit woven tightly with the structure, texture and freshness. This comes from grapes grown in Los Chacayes at 1,000 meters. Drink now or hold.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 91 Points · 2024
As ever, the 2024 Q Malbec offers as solid an overview as one could want of both the modern Uco Valley and the unwavering clarity that defines the Zuccardi portfolio. Equal parts herbal, savory and floral on the nose, the mouthfeel delivers svelte precision and textural depth that transcend its price point, with a well-defined, mineral-driven finish.

Vinous, 91 Points · 2024
The 2024 Malbec Q, sourced from Gualtallary, Los Chacayes and Altamira, presents a modern profile from the Uco Valley.

It flows with athletic precision and expressive character. The 2024 is juicy and full of flavor.

Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points · 2024

Bodegas CARO · Amancaya Malbec-Cabernet · Mendoza · 2021 · 750ml

The Producer

The partnership between Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and the Catena family took root in 1999. The Catenas brought their knowledge of Mendoza's high-altitude terroirs and their passion for fine Malbec; the Rothschilds brought centuries of skill in growing, vinifying and aging great Cabernet Sauvignon, plus their mastery of blending. Together they created CARO, a union of their famous surnames, Catena and Rothschild, celebrating the fusion of opposites and the greatness that synergy can yield.

Bodegas CARO sources grapes from exceptional sites in the Andean foothills: Luján de Cuyo, part of the "First Zone" where Argentina's first Malbecs were planted, and the Uco Valley. The winery itself, built in 1884, is a designated heritage building in the heart of Mendoza. Today the estate is led by Laura Catena and Saskia de Rothschild, two of the most dynamic women in wine, with winemaker Philippe Rolet, crafting expressions of Mendoza's rugged terroir with balance, refinement and freshness.

The Wine

Amancaya is CARO's Malbec-led blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, pairing Argentina's plush, dark-fruited signature grape with the structure and polish of Bordeaux's classic variety.

Viña Cobos Felino Chardonnay 2023 is a bright, elegant expression from the high-altitude Uco Valley of Mendoza — one of Argentina's most exciting white wine terroirs. Crafted by Viña Cobos, the celebrated project of Paul Hobbs and the Pepe Galante family, Felino is the estate's approachable entry point: a wine of genuine quality and immediate pleasure, made with the same winemaking philosophy that drives their acclaimed Cobos and Bramare labels.

Pale yellow with greenish highlights. The nose is fresh and inviting, with aromas of pear, green apple, grapefruit, and citrus blossom, lifted by sweet pea and a delicate floral note of Meyer lemon. On the palate, the wine is creamy and broad, with a plush, oily texture and good freshness — only 7% of the wine sees oak, preserving the Uco Valley's natural vibrancy while adding a pleasant depth and a slight toasty nuance on the finish. Crisp acidity keeps everything lively and well-balanced through to the lingering, fruit-driven close.

Awarded 91 points by Vinous and 90 points by Wine Spectator, the 2023 Felino Chardonnay punches well above its price point — a testament to the Uco Valley's exceptional altitude and cool-climate conditions, which yield grapes of remarkable precision and aromatic intensity. (Vintage 2023). 

Serve well chilled. Pairs beautifully with grilled fish, roasted chicken, creamy pasta, fresh goat cheese, and light vegetable dishes. A versatile, crowd-pleasing white for any occasion.

Bodegas Caro · Aruma Malbec · Mendoza · 2023 · 750ml

The Producer

Bodegas Caro is a partnership between two of the wine world's great families: Domaine Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) from France and the Catena family from Argentina. The name Aruma means "night" in the native Quechua language, a nod to the cool mountain nights of the Andes that keep the fruit fresh and bright.

The Wine

The robe is deep red with hints of violet, and the nose opens with plum and red fruit. The palate is fresh and elegant, with remarkable balance between tannins, acidity and alcohol, leading to a long, delicate finish. Overall, a very convivial, attractive wine.

Expert Reviews (2023 Vintage)

"The 2023 Malbec Aruma is sourced from El Peral and Los Chacayes in the Uco Valley. This warm 2023 vintage was balanced by an early harvest, resulting in a subtly lighter palate. After spending a winter on the fine lees, this vibrant Malbec showcases intense purple hues, with pristine notes of fresh herbs, violet, cherry and plum. Juicy and expressive, it features fine tannins and lively fruit flavors, making it an energetic and primary wine."
Vinous, 91 points

"An honest and fruit-driven malbec that shows plump fruit and violet character. Fine-grained tannins on the fruity palate, with a fleshy core of ripe, concentrated purple fruit in the middle. Still fresh and pristine in finish full of fruit."
James Suckling, 91 points

"The 2023 Aruma is a beautiful overview of Argentine Malbec, leading with a dark-fruited nose of mixed berries, turned earth and floral accents that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is elegantly plush and vibrant, transitioning to a rich yet lifted finish with admirable delicacy and nuance."
The Wine Advocate, 90 points

"A nose of wild berries introduces a smooth palate, featuring enough dark fruit and freshness to make it enjoyable. A dash of herbs marks the close."
Wine Enthusiast (Jesica Vargas), 90 points

The perfect bistro wine. Pairs beautifully with grilled skirt steak (carne asada), lamb sliders or a hearty charcuterie board, and its bright acidity makes it a great match for tomato-based pastas and empanadas. Serve around 60–64°F.

Vintage: 2023  |  Size: 750ml
90+ Rated

Susana Balbo is one of Argentina’s most celebrated winemakers — the first woman to earn an enology degree in the country and a tireless champion of Mendoza’s high-altitude potential. The Signature Malbec is sourced from Paraje Altamira in the Valle de Uco, one of the most coveted sub-appellations in all of Argentina, where volcanic soils and cool nights at elevation produce Malbec of remarkable depth and precision.

On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with a dark thread of blackberries, firm and structured tannins, and a rich, lingering finish. Compact and tight in its youth, this is a Malbec built to reward patience — or to be enjoyed now alongside a great cut of beef.

“This shows aromas of dusty, brooding dark fruit and touches of graphite and tar. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with a dark thread of blackberries supported by firm tannins and a rich, lingering finish.”

Winemaker Notes

Layer Cake Malbec Mendoza 2022 750ml

Big, brooding black fruit with a slight hint of cherry, earthy truffles, and dark cocoa lead the way. The Sea of Stones vineyard is always evident — a thread of minerality from the deep alluvial cobblestones runs through the wine. Elegant on the palate with fresh-picked blackberries, simmering chocolate, and a savory depth that keeps you coming back. So many layers, so little time.

The Wine Advocate 97 Points | The 2020 Aluvional Gualtallary is more floral and expressive, a little more exuberant than the 2019 I tasted next to it. In 2020, they harvested some 10 days earlier than in 2019 (they started in February!), and the wines finished with similar alcohol levels (14%) and even with a slightly lower pH and higher acidity in 2020, so with very good freshness. They fermented with some 30% to 50% of stems in the vinification (they use grapes from three different vineyards that are vinified separately, all in the Monasterio part of Gualtallary) and matured the wine in concrete. This is very young, and the palate reveals the inner notes of thyme and rockrose, the violets and the small berries. The texture is akin to liquid chalk, a mineral and austere wine, with very fine tannins and a long, dry finish.

Vinous 98 Points | Is it possible to create a wine with structure but without weight? The 2021 Cabernet Franc Gran Enemigo Gualtallary offers a remarkable answer to that apparent paradox, finding the solution in a balanced combination of terroir and careful cellar work. It's almost utopian—a mountain wine with the structure and character of high-altitude vineyards, yet with the agility and freshness of an oceanic red. Purple in hue, it opens with blackberry and plum, layered with mountain herbs, a hint of sour cherry, cassis and floral tones of violet and lavender. Dry and juicy, with a slightly compact feel, the wine glides across the palate with weightless grace, supported by fine, chalky tannins. This wine is a triumph.

Chandon · Spritz Garden Collection · Lemon & Verbena · Argentina · 750ml

Chandon Argentina — the Moët Hennessy estate in the Uco Valley — has been making world-class sparkling wine in Mendoza since 1959. Their Garden Collection Spritz takes that same exceptional base wine and elevates it with a hand-selected blend of Argentine botanicals: lemon zest from Tucumán, verbena from Catamarca, white chili pepper, ginger, and artichoke — all macerated naturally to create a color and flavor that is 100% real, nothing artificial. The result is a perfectly balanced, ready-to-serve spritz that tastes like a garden in summer: bright, aromatic, and effortlessly refreshing. At $23.99 for 750ml, it's the easiest entertaining decision you'll make all season.

Pale golden with a delicate blush hue and a lively, persistent bead. The nose is immediately inviting: fresh lemon zest, fragrant verbena, and a subtle herbal lift from the ginger and white pepper. On the palate: light, crisp, and beautifully balanced — citrus-forward with a floral mid-palate and a clean, slightly bitter finish that keeps every sip refreshing. No mixing required. Just pour over 3–4 cubes of ice and serve.

Ver Sacrum · Los Chacayes, Uco Valley · 2024

Ver Sacrum Gloria S is a 100% Garnacha from a single goblet-trained plot within the estate vineyard in Los Chacayes, Uco Valley. Hand-harvested fruit gives a perfumed, layered red with a soft texture and a light tannin backbone.

Producer & Terroir

Eduardo Soler and two friends founded Ver Sacrum in 2012 to grow and vinify Rhône varieties. Their approach favors fresh, lower-alcohol wines, lighter skin contact and native yeasts, with minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. All grapes are harvested by hand and most are foot-crushed, without corrections, filtration or pump-overs.

Their small Los Chacayes vineyard is planted to Grenache, Monastrell, Carignan, Roussanne, Marsanne, Mencía, Syrah, Teroldego and Nebbiolo. Soler came to winemaking after returning to Mendoza and reconnecting with adventurous Argentine growers. An avid mountaineer, he has climbed numerous famous peaks, worked ski patrol in Aspen and Mendoza for many years, and operates a small ski resort two hours outside Mendoza.

Eduardo Soler | “When the old sent their young to found new villages, bringing grape vines to start new vineyards, they gave off by a ceremony called the sacred spring or Ver Sacrum. Since then, the Ver Sacrum is a symbol of the new tribe, new art, new vine. We renew this ancient vow, with the audacity create something new. This is our Ver Sacrum”

Raspberry and cranberry lead the vibrant nose, with wet clay and a touch of ash adding an earthy dimension. The palate is soft and round, bringing red cherry and baking spices together with gentle tannins and a nuanced, layered character.
