Michael and David Phillips-Earthquake-Zinfandel-Graton-California-2006-$18.99-WOW, big

dark fruit nose, very dark in color.  A powerful but smooth Zin, which gives you the punch that some

$30-35 Zins don’t deliver.   Drinkable now but would still be good in 3 years if cellared.  Very cool

label.    WS-82  CR-4-4.5    Good with burgers, chicken, pasta.

Bodega Renacer-Punto Final-Reserva-Malbec-Mendoza-Argentina-2005-$13.25-Smooth nose

of dark fruit, dark ruby color.  Pleasant mouth feel, good fruit, spice, tannins, unfiltered so decant if

necessary.  A very good Malbec.    WS-89  RP-88     CR-4      Good with chicken, steak, pasta.
