May 13th, 2014

In the new Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide for July 2014, Michael Schachner has awarded great new point scores to both Argento Bonarda 2012 and Argento Malbec 2012, two of the best value red wines from Argentina rated in the high 80s or above.

Argento Bonarda 2012 – 88 Points

“Bright, playful berry and plum aromas are clean and fruity. Fresh and juicy, it shows firm but not jagged acidity. Flavors of ripe plum, berry, cocoa powder and herbs finish in forward fashion and not too oaky.” –MS

Argento Malbec 2012 – 87 Points

“Gritty berry aromas require airing. This is grabby, full and fresh on the tongue, with zesty acidity and overall good balance. A heavily oaked flavor profile includes mint and chocolate along with generic berry and plum. Resiny oak carries the finish.” –MS
