Nieto Senetiner has been a major player in Mendoza since the late 1800’s. They were first founded by Italian immigrants who thought that Malbecs could be far more sophisticated than what was being made at the time. They prioritized barrel-select blending and additional oak aging, two pioneering decisions that have been replicated a million times over since then. But the originators continue to separate themselves from the rest of the pack with their elegant Big Reds such as today’s Malbec.
Of course, when your wine is this good at this good of a price, all the wine critics come calling. Unsurprisingly, this one has a trio of strong press. The Wine Advocate gave it a 90 and called the wine “very good value” and a “very good introduction to Malbec from Mendoza.” Wine Enthusiast echoed that with their own 90, and blessed the wine with their coveted ‘Best Buy’ designation. But it was James Suckling who dared to bump the stakes even higher, even for a wine under $15/bottle. He came in at 92 points, calling it “soft and creamy with a medium body and fine, polished tannins.”
Our fourth case-only offer of the year is a no-brainer. Triple 90-points for a killer new Malbec, and if you’re local, we’ll even throw it in the original wooden boxes (for local van delivery or pickup only) at no extra cost. That’s how you beat inflation…and drink some damn good wine in the process.

92 Points, James Suckling
Ripe blueberries and plums with violets, sweet vanilla and dark chocolate. Soft and creamy with medium body and fine, polished tannins. Ripe and mellow berry character and a firm finish. Drink or hold
90 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast
Fresh and youthful, this red shows cherry and baking spices on the nose. It’s fruit-forward and has juicy red and black fruit flavors blended with herbs. Good acidity freshens and lengthens the finish.
90 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
Only 20% of the volume matured in barrel for eight months. It’s fresh, clean and fruit-driven, with berry fruit, herbs and flowers. It has a medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins and is dry, vibrant and nicely textured with fine tannins. Very good value and a very good introduction to Malbec from Mendoza.

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
