Yasmin Red

2022 Israel Upper Galilee
89 Points
Best Values

Graceful and smoky, this fresh red has a pretty mix of singed herb, brambly berry, lavender and rosemary flavors. Shows nice purity, with sculpted tannins gently framing the light- to medium-weight profile. Petit Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Kosher. Drink now. 19,500 cases made, 3,500 cases imported. -K.B.

Yasmin Red

Numina Gran Corte

2020 Argentina Mendoza
91 Points

Boldly aromatic, offering dried violet, plum and cassis notes. Rather refined on the palate, this shows tobacco and mineral accents to the ripe blackberry core, with notes of cocoa bean and espresso that fill out the broad finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2034. 30,000 cases made, 150 cases imported. -A.R.

Single Vineyard Malbec El Tomillo Estate

2017 Argentina Mendoza
91 Points

The 2017 Malbec Salentein Single Vineyard Viñedo El Tomillo hails from a vineyard Salentein owns in the south of the Uco Valley and was aged for 16 months in used barrels. Inky with a brick dust sheen, the nose is led by country herbs such as jarilla and thyme alongside ripe fruit. The concentrated palate has active tannins that channel the flow while ripe fruit flavors appear at the back of the mouth alongside a mild acidity that lurks behind the compact feel and ripe, herbal finish. -J.H.

Single Vineyard Malbec El Tomillo Estate

Terre del Sommacco

2019 Italy Sicily
93 Points

The nose leads with delicate strawberry and cherry aromas, which gradually give way to more umami notes of balsamic, herbs, grilled meat and pepper. The palate deftly balances a more syrupy fruit element with an enduring earthy meatiness, while acid slithers through smooth, solid tannins like a snake looking for a sunning rock. Palm Bay International. —D.C.

Single Vineyard La Pampa 1997 San Pablo Malbec

2019 Argentina Mendoza
93 Points

Delicate aromas of violet are followed by bright red-fruit aromas on this structured Malbec. Lively acidity and a chalky texture contribute to the wine’s vibrant character. It has tart berry flavors accompanied by black pepper and a hint of nutmeg. The finish is fruity forward, with a touch of oregano in the aftertaste. Palm Bay International. —J.V.

Numina Gran Corte

2019 Argentina Mendoza
93 Points

A delicate nose of rose petals, peppercorn, cherry and cinnamon introduces an equally generous and balanced palate. Baking spices and black- and redfruit flavors are well integrated after 16 months of oak aging. It has a fine chalky texture and lively acidity. Enjoy now through 2030. Palm Bay International. —J.V.
