The 2009 Yauquen Malbec (50%) – Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) received the same elevage as the Malbec cuvee. It, too, is a pleasant, easygoing wine with no hard edges. Drink this easy-to-understand wine over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Opici Wines, Glen Rock, NJ; tel. (201) 689-3256; www.opiciwines.com

Bold, aggressive and fiery on the nose, but also loaded with berry and cherry aromas that are spunky and inviting. The palate has a pulpy, grapey feel that is apropos for the wine’s solid plum and berry flavors. Slightly herbal on the finish courtesy of the Cab in this 50/50 blend. Good stuff for everyday usage.——M.S.(5/1/2011)—— 87

The 2007 Yauquen Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 7 months in seasoned oak. It is a blend of equal parts Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark ruby-colored, it has a pleasant perfume of cedar, spice box, and assorted black fruits. Slightly tannic on entry, it has enough supple, savory fruit for balance. Drink it over the next 4 years.

Ruca Malen’s wines never taste manipulated or tweaked. This Malbec-Cabernet blend has a robust, meaty nose with licorice in the rear. The palate is balanced and tastes of fresh fruits and vanilla, and overall it’s healthy, pure and uncomplicated. Value-hunting fans of Argentina should keep an eye on the Yauquen label.——M.S.(8/1/2008)—— 87
