What reviewers say
“Alot worth of saying for this infant Malbec of Sottano! This is real treat for a BBQ meat pairing wine. Fresh, elegant & unoaked! Reminds me of a Beaujolais, but this had a bigger mouthful of flavour. Very fruity and even smell nice on its bouquet. Floral, juicy with good persistency of strawberries, dark berries and white pepper. It doesn't bored my palate throughout beginning till end, really delicious on its own! 94 Points!”

Summary
Sottano Junior Malbec is a red from Mendoza, Argentina.
The calibrated figure is built from 393 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 400 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 481 other reds from Argentina, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Sottano Junior Malbec lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Argentina (482 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 393.
