Tomero Reserva Petit Verdot 2006 Petit Verdot $26 on Wine-searcher Color is a little light, with few overtones or darker tints. Still young. Very fruity, elegant, but powerful aroma. Great character—bitter and very spicy. Nice on the way down. Bitter, with some strong tannins, but balanced by the intense flavor. Spiciness is very...
read moreÁngelica Zapata Chardonnay 2004 100% Chardonnay Not available on Wine-searcher. Beautiful color, with golden tints. Nice, greenish tints. What an aroma! Sweet plums and cherries, very deceptively fruity. It has the typical Chardonnay freshness and fruitiness to it. The taste is very soft and smooth. It has just a tad of spiciness....
read moreRutini Vin Doux Naturel 2004 Verdiccio, Semillon (late harvest dessert white wine) Not available on Wine-searcher Golden, rich color, with nice greenish tints. Not much in terms of legs—must not have too much sugar (it’s probably not a fortified sweet wine, as in the case of most Argentine desert wines) Very sweet, fruity aroma,...
read moreRutini Sauvignon Blanc 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Not available on Wine-searcher. Keeper for Value Color is obviously clear, but with nice, greenish tints. Nothing outstanding, though. Fresh, fruity aroma, like peaches or apples. Quite strong for a Sauvignon Blanc, which is very nice. The wine is smooth and fruity, causing a slight...
read moreMuseo Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 Bodega La Rural 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Not available on Wine-searcher. Lovely jet black color. Very fruity, peachy, black fruit aroma. Quite strong too. Wine is pretty complex. It has great body, with a nice spice to it. It also has some nuttiness. But it doesn’t have much length (as should be...
read moreRutini Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec Not available on Wine-searcher, but it was quite cheap in Argentina (around the same price as the Rutini Malbec and Rutini Cabernet) Good Value. Nice ruby color, with great legs. Not much aroma, though light floral hints can be smelled. The blend works extremely...
read moreRutini Malbec 2006 100% Malbec $13 to $21 on Wine-searcher (most are $18 or below). Keeper Lovely, intense, ruby color. More so than most Malbecs. It has a fresh aroma of raisins, plums, and black figs. It is subtle, but very pleasant. Very full-bodied. Body just jumps out at you. And the wine is also very smooth. It’s a pleasure...
read moreRutini Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 100% Cabernet Sauvignon $18 on Wine-searcher. 1 Vendor. Keeper Beautiful tints of ruby and violet. Intense, and purpling, but with a bit of lightness to the color. Aroma is muddy, earthy, and woody. There is the smell of a forest, of rocks, and of fresh fruit. Good body and structure to the wine....
read moreLa Rural Trumpeter Chardonnay Chardonnay Average of $10 on Wine-searcher for the 2007 and the 2008. This wine was part of a tasting in a bar, so I couldn’t find the year, though I’m positive it is either the 2007 or 2008. Numerous shadoes of yellow. Almost golden even. Quite nice. In the nose, you can find hints of pineapple,...
read moreCarinae Malbec Reserva 2007 100% Malbec Not available on Wine-searcher. $15 for the 2006. As noted in my review of the Carinae Malbec Finca Deneza, Carinae produces masculine and feminine Malbecs. In contrast to the Finca Deneza, this wine is considered feminine, meaning the focus is on creating a softer, lighter wine, specifically...
