Domaine Vistalba-Trilogie-Lujan De Cuyo-Mabec-Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon-Mendoza-Argentina-2007-$6.99-I had no idea what to expect from this wine, I find Argentina wines a little hit or miss. The nose was bold, juicy dark fruit, great rich deep color. I was amazed how great this wine tasted, big bold but smooth, and as label stated, elegant wine with a great complexity. A no brainer to pick up a case..which is what I plan to do. NR CR-4 Good with pizza, pasta.
Fincas Don Martino-Martino-Old Vine-Malbec-Argentina-2004-$13.99-I enjoy trying wines from different countries, had not had one from Argentina in awhile so I was glad after I tried it that I picked a good one. Nice nose of sweet fruit, ruby color, hints of vanilla and chocolate with smooth tannins. It was a very enjoyable drinking wine, great value and since it was a 2004 it was ready to drink now. If you have not tried Malbec, then I recommend you start with this one. WS-84 CR-4 Good with steaks, ribs, pasta.
