Argentina is about much more than Malbec. Cabernet, Bonarda, and Torrontes probably come to mind, but Chardonnay might not occur to you right away. Pascual Toso’s "Alta" is a wine that could move the variety up in your mind — not just in Argentina, but in general. It’s bright and rich all at once, with purity of varietal character, butter that complements without overtaking, moderate oak spice and toast, and a long mouthwatering finish that keeps me coming back. Bravo!
