See previous post on this wine — I ordered it last week from the Wine Exchange in LA. I couldn’t wait to open a bottle. As noted it is 50% Malbec, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Syrah from Argentina, produced under the direction of Michel Rolland.
This wine is under $15 a bottle, and might be one of the best values of the year. Obviously, it is very young — but showing very well, opulent, dark berry, dark chocolate– very good structure, balance and finish.
While everyone is raving about the 2005′s from Bordeaux, you might not find this quality in any of those wines at the $25 price point.
This is probably my second favorite wine from Argentina that I have had this year. My favorite is the Cuvilier Los Andes 2005.
Strongly recommended.
