Santa Julia?

[AlcoholReviews]

Doh- sorry. No, I have no financial stake in these wines nor, so far as I know, are they purchasable through AlcoholReviews.com's retail affiliate. I was just aiming to share some happy finds and see if others had thoughts on these.

Now- details:

As for the Malbec Riserva ('99), my experience with Malbecs has been generally disappointing. they are so often just hard as nails. This one, though, had a stiff spine but leaked black currants and vanilla.

The Torrontes ('00) noses like a Gewurztraminer, begins a little sweet then turns sour with a late-harvest melon and green apple notes.

Finally, the Bruno Hunold tasted of lemon, honey, pear and closing with soft earth. It was soft but had gravitas. And it was all of $7.

Cheers,
