($20, Vintus): Look no further for a great $20 red wine. The people behind this new project in Agrelo, a subregion of Mendoza, are either lucky or really know what they are doing.  With succulent black fruit — hints of cassis — and a touch of earthiness, it is a study in power and elegance wrapped into one.  The high altitude vineyard — 3,500 feet — that keeps the grapes cool while they ripen may explain the class of this wine.  It’s a little unevolved — not hard or impenetrable — at this stage, but has a fabulous nose, lovely texture and balance that suggests it will develop more complexity with another year or so in the bottle. 90 Michael Apstein Jan 20, 2009
