Kinien, Malbec 2007, USD 30, from Vistaflores Uco Valley,Mendoza
Impressive amalgam of gentle fruit mostly red cherry and plum
mermelade good acidity and alcohol. Some Cab´s components like
spicy black pepper and sweet red bell pepper. Soft tannins and a big
middle palate. I´d say 90+ pts for a rich and complete malbec.
Benegas, Sangiovese 2006, USD 23, Cruz de Piedra, Maipú, Mendoza
Great fruity nose with touchy initial and middle palate. The fruit is
mostly malbec´s type like plum and violet flower but shows a clear hint of
red cherry and raspberries. Smoke at the end. Rich and attractive wine that hardly reminds me a Sangiovese. I´d say a 89 pts wine ,much lower if you keep in mind the sangiovese tipicity even in Argetina terroir.
Viña Amalia, Reservado, Cab Sau 2005, USD 25, La consulta, Uco Valley, Mendoza.This is a tipical CS fron Uco Valley in Mendoza. Bunch of red and black fruit with spicy black pepper and sweet red pepper nicely kept with smoke and tabacco.Not an original wine but beautiful and attractive and gentle. I´d say 89 pts
