MALBEC
95 Bodega Corazon del Sol 2017 Gran Reserva Revana Vineyard Malbec (Los Chacayes). An opaque purple color along with heady aromas of blackberry, cassis, black olive and rubber unveil this Malbec’s power, balance and complexity. A deep palate is layered and supple, while this tastes of cured meat, licorice and black fruits. A smooth and lasting finish is silky and refined, with grip but no bite; enjoy this voluptuous Uco Valley Malbec through 2028. Revana Family Partners. Editors’ Choice. —M.S.

94 Doña Paula 2017 Alluvia Parcel Bush Vines Malbec (Gualtallary). Ripe blackberry and cassis aromas are backed with stony minerality, while this bush-vines Malbec from a high-elevation rocky vineyard oozes complexity on the nose, palate and finish. Bright acidity stemming from altitude makes this a bit edgy, while lightly herbal red berry and plum flavors come with a wild touch reflective of Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. A fresh and lively finish means this will last for years to come; drink through 2032. Prestige Beverage Group. Cellar Selection. —M.S.
