Wine production began in Argentina over 400 years ago when Catholic priests settled in the area. They planted vineyards near their monasteries, so they would have wine to celebrate Masses. Ideal soil conditions, especially near the Andes Mountains, helped the vines take off throughout the years. In 1995, Wine Spectator's Thomas Matthews noted "One winery in Argentina is leading the charge to bring its country's wine up to world class standards," and Catena leads the way in Argentina. While Mr. Matthews wrote these words more than 10 years ago, still in 2009 these words still ring true. Check out more than 20 Argentine selections available for purchase now on our Web site!

	07 Alamos Bonarda, Mendoza "Fleshy, with good ripe plum fruit pushed by a hefty dose of mocha that takes over on the finish. Drink now. 2,800 cases imported." 85 points. -- Wine Spectator	10.99	qty:
	08 Alamos Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza Wine Enthusiast named the 2007 vintage a best buy, saying: A little jammy and heavy at first, but airing gives it better focus. The palate runs full and lush, with sweet tannins running alongside blackberry, cassis and chocolate flavors. Holds it together on the finish, but overall the wine is more generic than individual. The 2008 vintage hasn't been rated.	11.99	qty:
	07 Alamos Chardonnay, Mendoza "The medium straw-colored 2007 Chardonnay was aged for 9 months in French oak, 10% new. It exhibits a bouquet of spiced apple, pear, and tropical aromas leading to a smooth-textured, tasty wine meant for near-term drinking. These are both excellent values." 87 points. -- Wine Advocate	11.99	qty:
	07 Alamos Malbec, Mendoza "Really juicy, with a great beam of fig and Linzer torte flavors followed by sweet spice notes on the tasty open-knit finish. Drink now." 88 points. — Wine Spectator	11.99	qty:
	06 Alamos Merlot, Mendoza Plush texture, with dark plum and cocoa notes followed by a fleshy finish. Drink now. 3,500 cases made. Score: 87. — Wine Spectator	10.99	qty:
	07 Altos Las Hormigas Malbec, Mendoza "Light and fresh, with a tasty beam of raspberry and cherry fruit backed by modest, well-integrated toast. There's a nice lingering licorice note." 87 points. — Wine Spectator	12.99	qty:
	06 Altos Las Hormigas Malbec, Mendoza, Vineyard Selection Reserva Highly Recommended by Wine Spectator. Dark and ripe, but intense and vivid, with melted licorice, graphite, plum confiture and freshly crushed boysenberry fruit all pumping through the lengthy finish. There's real solid grip as well. Drink now through 2011. 6,500 cases made. 92 points.	31.99	qty:
	06 BenMarco Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 15% Malbec in the blend. The wine was aged for 11 months in 50% new French and 50% one-year American barrels. Dark ruby/purple-colored, the nose offers up fragrant baking spices, black cherry, and black currant. This leads to a medium to full-bodied wine with an elegant personality, succulent fruit, a lush texture, and outstanding length. It will evolve for 1-2 years and offer prime drinking from 2010 to 2018."	17.99	qty:
	06 BenMarco Expresivo red wine "The 2006 Expresivo is a blend of 60% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot, and 10% Tannat aged 14 months in 70% new French and 30% new American oak before bottling without fining or filtration. Purple-colored, it delivers a fragrant, complex bouquet of wood smoke, baking spices, black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry. On the palate, notes of chocolate and sandalwood emerge accompanied by a layered, savory wine with tons of fruit, a forward personality, and exceptional depth and concentration. Drink this outstanding effort from 2011 to 2020." 92 points. -- Wine Advocate	32.99	qty:
	07 BenMarco Malbec, Mendoza "At the suggested price, it is a steal. The 2007 Malbec contains 10% Bonarda. It received the same oak regimen as the Cabernet. Dark ruby/purple-colored, it exhibits a kinky perfume of black cherry, wild black raspberry, earth notes, and leather. On the palate there is plenty of jammy fruit, bright acidity, excellent balance, and a lengthy finish. While it may well evolve for 1-2 years, it can be enjoyed now. It too is a great value." — Wine Advocate	19.99	qty:
	05 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Mendoza Alta 93 points and Highly Recommended by Wine Spectator: Very concentrated, with dark fig and currant paste notes, but it's also pure and driven, with intense mocha, bittersweet cocoa and melted licorice notes that stretch out the long, polished finish. Really gorgeous for its density and mouthfeel. Drink now through 2013. 3,750 cases imported.	47.99	qty:
	06 Bodega Colomé Malbec Calchaquí Valley A Wine Spectator Smart Buy.

	07 Bodega Septima Malbec "Dark red color with violet reflections. Intense aromas of sweet fruits such as plums, blackberries and quince preserve with hints of herbs and green pasture. Pleasant on the palate with soft tannins and toasts, oak and vanilla nuances. Good balance and persistence."	11.99	qty:
	06 Bodegas Catena Zapata Catena Alta Chardonnay "The 2006 Alta Chardonnay was sourced from the high altitude Adrianna Vineyard. The wine was fermented with native yeasts, then barrel-fermented and aged for 16 months in 50% new French oak. The nose reveals pain grille, baking spices, floral notes, baked apple, and tropical fruits. This leads to a layered wine with a creamy texture, ripe, complex flavors, and a lengthy finish. This well-balanced effort will provide pleasure for at least 3-4 years." 93 points. — Wine Advocate	29.99	qty:
	07 Bodegas Catena Zapata Malbec This new release has not been rated, but the previous release was scored a 91.	19.99 reg. 22.00	qty:
	08 Crios de Susana Balbo Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon Winery notes: Intense, dark ruby color with enticing aromas of ripe, black plums and black currants. The richly textured plum and currant flavors are joined by accents of dark chocolate and some vanilla-scented oak. The ripe, vibrant tannins give the wine beautiful structure and an amazingly long finish. This is a big wine for just a little money. Drink it now or over the next few years to enjoy the fruit flavors at their best.	13.99	qty:
	08 Crios de Susana Balbo Mendoza Malbec Winery notes: This wine has a beautiful reddish/purple color as most good Malbecs do. The aromas are a mix of fresh crushed cherries and a toasty/smoky oak—just enough to frame the exuberant fruit. On the palate, the flavors of cherries and spice are obvious, and the jammy fruit quality just keeps coming on strong, with hints of spice and sandalwood lurking in the background.	13.99	qty:
	09 Crios de Susana Balbo Torrontes "The 2009 Torrontes remains one of Argentina’s benchmarks for this variety. Sourced from 31-year-old vines in Cafayate (where the finest Torrontes grows), it displays a fragrant bouquet of spring flowers, honey, and tropical aromas. Medium-bodied and dry on the palate, it has ample fruit backed by vibrant acidity leading to a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next 2 years." 90 points. -- Wine Advocate	13.99	qty:
	08 Crois de Susana Balbo Rosé of Malbec "The 2008 Rose of Malbec is a saignee of Malbec sourced from 30-year-old ungrafted vines. It exhibits a fragrant bouquet of cherry and wild strawberries leading to a medium-bodied, dry, concentrated wine with lots of spicy red fruits and excellent balance. Drink it over the next 12-18 months." — Wine Advocate	10.99	qty:
	06 Decero Petit Verdot Winery Notes: Planted in the lowest vigor soils of the vineyard, here Petit Verdot shows its true potential. This Petit Verdot has lifted jasmine aromas, spice complexity, depth of flavor and fine grained tannins, all of which are gently integrated through 16 months in French oak barrels and a further 4 months aging in bottle before it is released. Gold Medal — 2008 Hyatt Wine Awards	29.99	qty:
	08 Don Miguel Gascón Malbec, Mendoza This newly released vintage of Malbec is full bodied and elegant with soft, round tannins, layered with flavors of blackberry, blueberry, dark cherry and a hint of mocha.	12.99	qty:
	05 Dona Paula Malbec Seleccion de Bodega "The 2005 Malbec Seleccion de Bodega received 24 months in new French oak. It has a splendid nose of pain grille, pencil lead, plum, black cherry, and earth notes. This is followed by an opulent, rich wine with gobs of flavor, incipient complexity and a 45-second finish. This wine will develop for another 6-8 years with prime drinking from 2015 to 2035." 94 points — Wine Advocate	42.99 reg. 46.99	qty:

	06 Finca & Bodega Carlos Pulenta Vistalba Corte C "Juicy, with a nice compact core of plum sauce and fig that should unwind nicely, supported by licorice, fruitcake and black tea notes. Malbec and Merlot. Drink now through 2010. 10,000 cases made." 88 points. -- Wine Spectator	13.99	qty:
	07 Finca Decero Malbec Remolinos Vineyard Winery notes: Intense violet aromas, the hallmark of Malbec from our Remolinos Vineyard is chased by a palate of raspberry flavors and an elegant integration of French oak giving further complexity.

	07 La Posta del Viñatero Malbec Luján de Cuyo Angel Paulucci "Juicy and ripe, with lots of fig, blackberry, mocha and currant paste notes that pump through the rich, fleshy finish. Solid acidity keeps this honest. Drink now through 2010. 8,000 cases made." 90 points. — Wine Spectator	16.99	qty:
	07 La Posta Malbec Pizzella Vineyard "Ripe and flashy, with a showy layer of mocha leading the way for spice cake, raspberry and boysenberry fruit flavors laid over a lush, creamy finish.

	07 Luca Pinot Noir, Uco Valley, Mendoza "The red wines start with the medium ruby-colored 2007 Pinot Noir, sourced from a relatively young vineyard planted to Dijon clones. It was aged in 30% new French oak and bottled without fining or filtration. It offers up an alluring bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry, saddle leather, spice box, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, with intense, savory, spicy, red fruit flavors, this lengthy, complex effort will evolve for several years and be at its best from 2010 to 2018. It is a candidate for best Argentina Pinot Noir of the year. At the asking price, it is also a very good value." 92 points. -- Wine Spectator	28.99	qty:
	07 Luca Syrah Uco Valley Laborde Double Select "Wild and brawny, with pepper, tobacco and crushed olive notes leading the way for bacony toast, braised beef and roasted plum flavors.

	07 Piuquenes Malbec, Mendoza Importer's notes: Medium-bodied. Ripe fruit flavors of plums and blackberries give it a jammy characteristic. The tannins are typically a bit tight and the earthy, wood-like appeal makes for a fairly rustic wine.	10.99	qty:
