The Last of the Tacana Reservas

Four past vintages of our extreme-altitude Malbec — 1,918 bottles in the cellar — priced by scarcity. When they’re gone, the next Tacana arrives in 2027.

Dear Fellow Wine Lover,

Last week we did something we’d been putting off: we counted what’s left of the Tacana Reservas.

Here is the ledger, exactly as it stands:

The Cellar Ledger · July 2026
2020 Reserva 27 18 bottles remaining · $165 · vertical only
2021 Reserva 191 bottles remaining · $145
2022 Reserva 400 bottles remaining · $125
2023 Reserva 1,300 bottles remaining · $109
1,918 bottles  ·  all the Tacana Previous Vintages that exists until 2027

That’s 1,918 bottles. Not cases — bottles. The ninth vintage of Tacana sold through this spring, and the tenth won’t be released until 2027. Between now and then, the bottles above are all the previous vintages of Tacana Malbec there is.

We’ve priced them by a rule simple enough to say out loud: no past vintage sells for less than the current release — the 2024 went for $99 — and every year a wine survives in the cellar, its price steps up. The 2023 is $109. The 2020, with 27 18 bottles left, is $165 — and it isn’t sold on its own at all. The only way to take a bottle of the 2020 home is inside the vertical.

When a vintage sells out, that line of the ledger closes for good. Nobody can make more 2020.

The vertical is one bottle of each vintage, side by side — $525, against $544 in ledger value. The 2021, 2022, and 2023 ship six bottles at a time. Fair warning: the vertical only exists as long as the 2020 does. Twenty-seven bottles means twenty-seven verticals, at most.

Simply scroll down to claim your bottles before a line closes.

Cheers,

P.S. The only way to take home a single bottle of the 2020 is inside the vertical. Twenty-seven of those exist. The ledger is here »

A Quick Refresher on Tacana & Gualfín

We didn’t buy Gualfín to grow grapes. We bought it as a cattle ranch — before discovering it was too remote, too high, and too dry to sustain the kind of herd we wanted.

It just so happened that the previous owner had planted a small vineyard of Malbec — 8,421 ft — at a three-hour ride from the main ranch house. By the time we discovered it, the vines were overgrown. It took us over a year to clean it up, then several more to teach our gauchos, more comfortable roping bulls, to harvest the grapes.

When we finally had a decent harvest — back in 2012 — we took the grapes to our closest neighbor (a mere hour’s drive away), winemaker Raul Davalos.

The resulting wine was so inky red it almost looked black. It smelled of blackberry, leather, and smoke. When you sipped it, you got a zing! of cherry and cloves. I had never had wine like that before. Even among extreme altitude Malbecs, I’ve never had another like it since.

We imported Tacana — then called Valle de Salta — for the first time in 2013, for my sister’s wedding. That was a party for the ages. I remember a family member saying, “Who knew our relatives could dance like that?”

Tacana is a wine that brings people together. But its depth and complexity make it perfect for moments spent alone, too. You’ll find that each sip lingers on the palate, gradually revealing new flavors, like mint and black pepper.

Gualfín — and the greater Calchaquí — is a special place. You wear long sleeves and hats to avoid the high-intensity UV light. You walk slowly so as not to use too much oxygen. And if you want to make a lot of money in the wine or cattle business, you’re best advised to hop on the next flight out of town.

“Almost as good as mine.”

So inky red it almost looks black. Blackberry, leather, and smoke on the nose — then a zing of cherry and cloves. Each sip lingers, gradually revealing new flavors: mint, black pepper.


The weather up there is never the same twice, so no two vintages are the same wine. The 2020 and the 2023 are siblings, not twins.
