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.

The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
This one comes from very old vines in eight different lieux-dits, with the largest portion coming from Le Fourneau. Harvest is all by hand, and this wine sees 18 months in barrels with only 10% new oak. Clement (rightfully) believes that keeping the oak primarily neutral here brings out the most authentic and intense expression of his Pinot Noirs. Take a sip or two of this and you will know exactly what I mean.
90 Points, Wine Spectator
Domaine Jaume Vinsobres Altitude 420 is an old-vine Grenache-Syrah blend from vineyards planted in Les Collines at some of the highest points in the Rhône. The Jaumes have farmed these dizzying elevations at their estate in Vinsobres for 100+ years. The 2020 is one of his best yet, pristine and fresh, a bowl full of berried-up fruit yet with the tension and length that belies its humble price. Incredible bang for the buck, tailor-made for anyone’s house red, and a slam dunk for any kind of meat on the bone.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
