Doña Paula, Salix Vineyard 2006, USD 30
A blend of Tannat & Malbec from Ugarteche district of Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza
Wonderfull blend with amazing fruits mostly dark skinned with sweet and spiced tones. Quite present oaky stuff like chocolate and vanila. Plentifull early and middle palate with nice aftertaste. Overall balanced and attractive mostly fruit driven quite in line with Doña Paula style. I´d say a 91 points wine and a good value too.
San Pedro de Yacochuya, Mabec 2007, USD 28
Fron Cafayate Valley Salta. Strong red with attractive balance. The concentrated prone natural gift of this high terroir is fortunately balance in this wine. Soft smoke and chocolate made it more complex.I ´d say a 89 points wine lacking some complexity not easy to get in cafayate valley
(its big brother Yacochuya clearly got it, see April notes).
