REVIEWS With hundreds of 90+ reviews from major publications, you can count on Vino del Sol to be your Trusted Source for Great Wine. References happily provided upon request. ABOUT VINO DEL SOL We are a leading importer of terroir-driven wines that over-deliver in value. Known as "The Argentine Wine Specialist," we also market exceptional wines from California and Chile and sakes from Japan. Our wineries are estate-grown, sustainably-farmed, and family-owned. In addition to national broadmarket brands, we also work hand-in-hand with our customers and wineries to develop client-exclusive brands. L E A R N M O R E A T : W W W. V I N O D E L S O L. C O M

SUSTAINABLE To be your trusted source, Vino del Sol must be sustainable. To achieve that, Vino del Sol only works with wineries that are estategrown, sustainably-farmed, and family-owned. ESTATE-GROWN Wine begins in the vineyards, and we believe it is important for wineries to own and farm their own vines. Every winery Vino del Sol works with directly controls the majority of the vineyards used to make their wines. This promotes the highest level of quality control in the vineyards. Farming the same vines in the same terroir year after year gives a continuity to the wines' style. Estate vineyards also protect our customers from grape price fluctuations. SUSTAINABLY-FARMED All of the wineries in the Vino del Sol portfolio are sustainably farmed. This means the wines are created in an environmentally-conscious and socially-friendly way, and that the vineyards can continue to produce grapes indefinitely. The wineries proudly invest in the long-term employment and care of their workers. For example, Formation has over 20 employees with 20+ years of employment. Zolo and Tapiz have achieved the Global G.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practice) certification and were awarded the Gold Medal for Sustainable Practices at the 2011 Great Wine Capitals Awards. Gen5 and Criss Cross are certified green by Lodi Rules and use solar panels and renewable energy. Our wineries go the extra mile to protect the soil in a sustainable manner: for example, Formation, Tapiz & Zolo create their compost out of the discarded grape skins and wine solids. Many use natural cover crops for added nutrients. Lamadrid and Verum use high density plantings to naturally balance the cluster-per-vine production. Tapiz owns a certified organic vineyard and was awarded 2017 Gold Medal on sustainability from the Botanical Research Institute of Texas. The wineries utilize computer-controlled drip irrigation to further conserve water. Toanga is certified sustainable by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. All of our Argentine wines are vegan. FAMILY-OWNED The wine business is a long-term one. Decisions made in the vineyard today may not be reflected in the bottle for several years. Corporate management, usually focused on short-term earnings, is often not conducive to building sustainable wine brands. This is why all of the Vino del Sol wineries are family operations with a shared multi-generational vision for a sustainable long-term business. For example, Gen5 is a joint-venture between Vino del Sol and the LangeTwins winery. The Lange family has been farming the same land in Lodi for five generations. The Obata family behind our sakes is also fifth generation. L E A R N M O R E A T W W W.V I N O D E L S O L. C O M

ALTOCEDRO L a C onsulta, Valle d e Uco, Mendoza Altocedro represents real artisanal winemaking, a boutique operation with some serious talent behind the wheel. -Wine Spectator The winery and vineyards of Altocedro are located in the premier region of La Consulta, Valle de Uco, Mendoza. Winemaker and owner Karim Mussi Saffie uses sustainable growing practices to produce limited amounts of terroirdriven wines. The vines range up to 100 years of age. All harvesting, sorting, and crushing are done in individual batches by hand. Fermentation occurs either in small cement tanks or in barrels, and the extract is done with a gravity flow system developed at the winery over 100 years ago. Altocedro has become synonymous with outstanding La Consulta wine. Altocedro Año Cero Malbec 92 points ('15), James Suckling: A juicy and rich wine with lots of dried fruit and meat. Full body, round tannins and a savory finish. Delicious to drink now but has the stuffing to age. 90 points ('12), Decanter; 90 points ('11), Stephen Tanzer. Altocedro Año Cero Cabernet Sauvignon 90 points ('14), Wine Spectator: Fleshy, with grip to the brooding flavors of dried blackberry, dark currant and olive. Savory midpalate, showing notes of baker's chocolate and Asian spice on the finish. 89 points ('15), Wine Enthusiast & Wine Spectator. Altocedro Año Cero Tempranillo 90 points ('13), James Suckling: This wine shows how tempranillo can excel in Mendoza if done properly. Medium to full body with bright acidity and fruity finish. 90 points ('10), Wine Advocate. Altocedro La Consulta Select 92 points ('15), James Suckling; 90 points ('14), Wine Advocate. A stunning La Consulta blend of 42% Malbec, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Tempranillo and 9% Syrah. Altocedro Reserva Malbec 91 points ('13), Wine Spectator: Big and rich-tasting, with concentrated flavors of dark plum, dried blackberry and dark currant, flanked by luscious Asian spice notes. Very creamy as well, offering a plush, open-textured finish of dark chocolate and mocha. 90 points ('14), Wine Enthuasiast; '06 was a Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wine!

LAMADRID A g r elo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza Great Value Winery to Look For -Robert Parker The Lamadrid winery is owned by Guillermo García Lamadrid, and the winemaker, President and co-owner is Héctor Durigutti. Lamadrid owns three vineyards in Agrelo: Finca La Matilde (planted 1929), Finca Lamadrid (1973), and Finca La Suiza (2004). Each wine comes from one of these Agrelo single vineyards and only indigenous yeasts are used, with no fining or filtration. The winery combines a unique mix of traditional and cutting-edge winemaking. The district of Agrelo, in the department of Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, is called the land of the Malbec. This is one of the oldest and most premier growing regions in Argentina. Lamadrid strives to represent the best expression of the beautiful terroir of Agrelo. In each bottle of Lamadrid we open a door and discover a world of unique experiences and sensations. Lamadrid Malbec 90 points & Top 100 Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast ('14): Hard-packed, concentrated black-fruit aromas are a signal of this rugged Malbec s character. It s blasting with toasty blackberry and pepper flavors, which are backed by spice, heat and a general sense of full but proper ripeness and high quality. 89 points & Top 100 Value, Wine Spectator ('15); 90 points Wine Advocate ('10). Lamadrid Cabernet Sauvignon 89 points, Wine Spectator ('15): A juicy, savory style, with crisp raspberry and cherry flavors that offer hints of ginger and licorice. White pepper and cedar accents show on the finish. Best Value Cab, Wine Enthusiast ('12); 90 pts, Wine Advocate ('10). Lamadrid Bonarda 89 points, Wine Enthusiast ('14); 88 points, Wine Spectator ('11); 90 points, Wine Advocate ('10): nose of underbrush, mineral, plum, mulberry, and violets. Concentrated on the palate with good depth, balance, and length, this flavorful effort deftly combines elegance and power, quite an achievement at this price point. L E A R N M O R E A T W W W.

Lamadrid Malbec Single Vineyard Reserva 91 points & Best Buy & Year's Best Malbec ('14), Wine & Spirits: A new-wave malbec... uses that charming character as just one part of its seductive personality. The other attractive parts are the firm tannins and fresh acidity creating a red wine agile enough to drink with steak tartare. 94 points ('13), Beverage Dynamic; 92 points ('12), Wine Enthusiast. 100% La Suiza vineyard. Malolactic fermentation in oak, and aged for 12 months in first use French and American oak barrels. Lamadrid Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Reserva 90 points ('13), Wine Enthusiast; 90 points ('12), Wine Spectator: Mocha, licorice and spice cake notes accent the ripe cassis and zesty cherry fruit character, with an iron-tinged finish. 100% La Suiza vineyard. Malo-fermentation in the oak, and aged 14 months in 60% first use and 40% second use French oak barrels. Lamadrid Bonarda Single Vineyard Reserva 90 points ('14), Wine Spectator; 90 points ('11), Wine Spectator: Many of Argentina's Bonardas offer mass appeal... Lamadrid made this [annual] report's only outstanding version... A flashy red, displaying a vibrant core of crushed wild cherry, plum, spice and licorice notes... Lamadrid Cabernet Franc Single Vineyard Reserva The Top Selling Cabernet Franc in the United States! (Source: Nielsen, 52 weeks ending 3/1/2014) 91 points ('13), Wine Enthusiast; 89 points ('12), Stephen Tanzer: Varietally expressive aromas of blackberry, violet, licorice pastille and mint, complemented by sweet oak. Spicy and intense, with an enticing touch of sweetness to its flavors of blackberry, spices and flowers... Lamadrid Malbec Gran Reserva 93 points ('10), James Suckling: Very attractive aromas of blueberries, wet earth and black licorice. Full body, with a dense palate that shows lots of ripe berry, cocoa and coffee undertones. 91 points ('12), Wine Enthusiast; 91 points ('09), Stephen Tanzer; 93+ points ('07), The Wine Advocate. Lamadrid Malbec Matilde 94 points & Editors' Choice ('11), Wine Enthusiast. 94 points ('07), Wine Advocate: The flagship 2007 Malbec Matilde was sourced from the same estate vineyard as the Gran Reserva, but from a particular parcel, with aging for 24 months in new French oak. This loaded effort displays more obvious (but well-integrated) oak, soaring aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, and exotic spices, full body, and a plush, velvety palate feel...

PURAMUN V a lle de Uco, Mendoza Pepe Galante's First Family Project!.. Jose Pepe Galante is widely considered the most important winemaker in Argentina's history. Chief winemaker at Catena Zapata from 1976 until 2010, Pepe showed the world that Argentina could make world-class wines. Puramun is Pepe's firstever personal project owned by his family. Puramun means both harvest and search in Mendoza's indigenous Mapuche language. Each Puramun is a new challenge. A time for searching and finding. Nothing is the same, everything changes: the climate, the soil, the grapes, and even ourselves. Year after year we trek a new road, a labyrinth of grapevines that express through their precious fruit our devotion to the Valle de Uco terroir. Each Puramun bottle is the result of this passionate and endless search. Puramun Chardonnay Reserva 96 points ('16), Tim Atkin, MW: Very few Argentinean winemakers are capable of making Chardonnays like this, but Pepe Galante is one of them. Using purchased grapes from Paraje Altamira, it s a focused, aromatic, chalky delight that wouldn t look out of place in a line up of Premier Cru Burgundies. Leesy, subtle and very long. Puramun Malbec Reserva 93 pts ('13), Wine Advocate; 95 points ('13), Tim Atkin, MW: Pepe Galante is one of the best winemakers in Argentina, so it s no surprise that the reds he produces under his own label are so impressive. This is a typically elegant, subtle Malbec with notes of red berry fruit, subtle spices, well integrated oak and silky, palate-caressing tannins. Puramun Co-Fermented 92 points ('13), Wine Advocate; 67% Malbec and 33% Petit Verdot hand-picked together and cofermented as a single lot, with 12 months in French oak barrels. The Petite Verdot added personality and firmness to the Malbec, which together created a serious wine with flavors of blue and dark fruits and a hint of minerality. Only 200 wooden six pack cases. BRAND PRIORITY: Puramun Malbec Reserva L E A R N M O R E A T W W W. V I N O D E L S O L. C O M

TAPIZ S a n Pablo, Valle de Uco, Mendoza Take Note This is a Winery to Follow -Sommelier Journal f. Tapiz is one of the most renowned and awarded Argentine wineries. Winemaker Fabian Valenzuela was joined by Jean Claude Berrouet in 2012. Jean Claude is the recently-retired winemaker of Petrus, having presided over 44 vintages at this revered Bordeaux winery. Tapiz is proud that Jean Claude chose to work with them exclusively in Argentina. To celebrate the addition of Jean Claude, Tapiz created a new Alta Collection line of wines. The Alta Collection fruit comes solely from Tapiz's sustainably-farmed estate San Pablo vineyard in the Uco Valley. San Pablo is one of the highest altitude vineyards in Mendoza (4,600 feet above sea level). This extreme altitude provides for warm days which impart concentration to the grapes, and cold nights which give natural acidity.
