The 2008 Malbec Reserva spent 9 months in French and American oak. It has more aromatic complexity as well as greater depth and concentration. It is a solid effort for drinking over the next 5-6 years. Argento is a brand owned by Catena which is just being introduced to the USA. It has had a strong presence in the UK and in other parts of Europe.Importer: Lion Nathan; www.lionnathanusa.com

An unusual specimen, especially on the nose, where spicecake, floral and incense aromas are atypical. The palate is kind of sharp and immature, with grapey, blueberry flavors and coconut on the finish. A different breed of Malbec, but not what we’d call a slam-bang success.——M.S.(12/31/2009)—— 84
