  S.L.V. Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2007

  Snoothrank:

  The color of the wine is a deep, opaque purple at the center, transitioning to a bright garnet around the edges. The nose is a subdued combination of blackberry, anise, dark chocolate and a touch of oak. The taste is complex and brooding, with just a hint of dark fruit at the outset, transitioning into some pepper and spice and a bit of limest... Read More

  Bodega Weinert Carrascal Red 2007

  Snoothrank:

  This wine gets the full benefit of its two years in oak with a nose pleasantly redolent of bamboo and water chestnut. The wine itself is light, yet it still carries a depth of flavor, with a flume of autumn spices at the end of each sip. Another wonderful value from Weinert.

  Rutini Malbec 2009

  Snoothrank:

  In Argentina, Rutini is among the most prestigious widely available brands, and this wine offers a few hints why. The nose is a mix of orange marmelade and tire rubber; in the mouth, its somewhat square but full of characteristic malbec berry-cherry flavor. A little grainy, but a few years of age might sort that out. (AV 87, http://argovino.com/... Read More

  Luigi Bosca Malbec 2009

  Snoothrank:

  A little thin in the glass to the eye, but sharp and powerful in the mouth with a pleasing blackberry jam finish. An aggressive wine to pair with strong flavors, especially soy. (AV 86, http://argovino.com/?p=763) Read More

  Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino 2002

  Snoothrank:

  I thought about pouring this one through the aerator, but instead just let it breathe for an hour before tasting. The nose is quite complex, with a lot of different aromas going on that it almost makes you dizzy, there is a lovely smoky aroma that pervades the nose, with hints of dark fruit, leather and oak, and then there is a sudden twang of ...

  Terrazas de Los Andes Malbec Reserva 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Ripe plum and black cherry flavors abound, mixed with the tiniest hint of ammonia in the nose, which subsides quickly. The wine is still rather tannic, but the rough structure and seemingly endless finish suggest it will improve with a few more years. (AV 87, http://argovino.com/?p=514) Read More

  Bodega Norton Malbec Reserva 2007

  Snoothrank:

  The concentrated, focused bouquet is heavy with bittersweet chocolate, and the wine does not disappoint in heft. Theres a kaleidoscopic mix of light and dark flavors, culminating in a clean finish of medium length quite a stunner from a low-price producer, especially in a difficult vintage.

  La Posta Malbec Angel Paulucci Vineyard 2008

  Snoothrank:

  Pungent cinnamon is the welcome surprise in the bouquet, but the wine is lean, making the lengthy finish something of a shocker. (AV 85, http://argovino.com/?p=498) Read More

  Doña Paula Malbec Selección de Bodega 2006

  Snoothrank:

  The bouquet is almost undetectable, with the faintest aromas of smoke and wood. In the mouth theres a mix of tart and bitter flavors reminiscent of fresh blackberries, though without much refinement; youd expect more from what some once called the finest wine in Argentina. The star is the long, warm, layered finish. (AV 86, http://argovino.com/?... Read More

  Bodega Familia Schroeder Malbec Neuquén Saurus 2007

  Snoothrank:

  As with other Neuquen malbecs, this one brings rare notes of orange in the nose, with a touch of talc; upon opening, these transform into a strong whiff of baba au rhum. In the mouth its light and sweet with tropical hints of mangosteen and rambutan pleasingly different from any Mendoza wine. (AV 87, http://argovino.com/?p=430) Read More
