Seven Hills Winery-Pentad-Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc-Malbec-Carmenere-Petit Verdot-Washington State-2006-$34.00-A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark garnet in color. A full bodied blend, with plum, cassis, blueberry and roasted meats, found it a bit rough and not up to some of the ratings. Will wait on next couple bottles. RP-89 WS-93 WE-93 CR-89 Good with meats, chicken, pasta.
Alamos-The Wines of Catena-Malbec-Mendoza-Argentina-2010-$7.99-A nose of some fruit and funk, dark garnet in color. A medium bodied Malbec with plum, currants and some spice, pretty simple, ok for price. RP-86 WS-83 WE-88 CR-84 Good with meats, chicken, pasta.
