Amalaya Gran Corte 2009
The Amalay Gran Corte is a blend of mainly Malbec with Cabernet Franc and Tanna, and is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. It is a fantastic wine in every way – it is a full-bodied wine with a rich, ruby red color. The nose is dominated by dark red fruit, which also [...]
Felino Viña Cobos Merlot 2009
Merlot is not one of Argentina’s strong points when it comes to wine, but this one came highly recommended, so I was willing to try it. It came at a cost ($65 pesos), but you have to be willing to pay the price if you want a decent Argentine Merlot. This particular wine is from [...]
Palo Alto Pinot Noir 2008
I recently tried the Septima Noche pinto noir, which I thoroughly enjoyed….something that does not happen often when I am drinking a pinot noir in Argentina. A good pinot is a rare find and you have to spend at least $70 pesos to find one that is half-decent. I was recommended the Palo Alto pinot [...]
Mauricio Lorca Wines
I was recently at a small tasting of wines by Mauricio Lorca. Mauricio Lorca is a well-known young winemaker, who has worked for prestigious bodegas such as Luigi Bosca and Finca La Celia. He later opened his own winery, under his own name, which is a small, boutique winery located in Vista Flores, a region [...]
El Transito | Pietro Marini Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Pietro Marini is a small, boutique winery located right on the outskirts of Cafayate. This wine is not for the faint of heart, nor for those who love juicy red shiraz from Australia. However, I would have to put it in one of my favorite wines that I have tried in Argentina because of its [...]
Lujuria Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Lujuria is one of Suter´s upper end line of wines. The 2007 cabernet is a complex, full bodied wine full of ripe red fruit flavors, with smoky and spicy undertones. It has a nice long finish, where you will notice some vanilla and chocolate notes as well. I must say, this wine was a nice [...]
Don Nicanor Blend 2008
This wine is a classic from Nieto Sentiner. It is a blend of Malbec, CabSav, and Merlot, and this particular vintage is from 2008. It was a very impressive wine – medium bodied, complex flavors, well-rounded tanins and a very long, finish. Nose: very fruity with a hint of wood. Palate: This is a jammy [...]
Finca Beltram – Malbec
This wine has to open up a bit (about 30min), but once it has done so, it is pretty decent. Rich red berry, fig, and vanilla flavors lead to a medium finish with hints of leather and coffee. The tannins are a little astringent, but it is quite decent for a $10 peso wine. Would [...]
Humberto Canal Blanc de Noir Blush 2009
This is a rose wine that will bring back memories of the sweet blush zinfandels from the 90s. Sweet, cloying, no complexity, and a poor finish make this wine a dud. Unless you liked those zinfandels, this one is not worth trying. A disappointment from Humberto Canale, which for the most part offer some very [...]
Valderrobles Clasico
It’s obvious that this is a house wine, from its price. However, when you drink it, you will find it’s a great value, and worth more that the price. The Valderrobles line offers some great wines for a very low price, and the Valderrobles Chablis even made the Expose “Best Wines for Under 10 pesos.” [...]
