Brian's Wine Picks (March 2010)

catenamalbec Catena Malbec
$19.99
6933
Score: 91 Release Price: $22 Issue: Nov 15, 2009 Top 100: 2009, Rank: 69 A sleek, polished style, with alluring mocha and raspberry ganache notes leading the way, backed by dark plum, hoisin sauce and graphite flavors that push through the finish. This has serious weight, but stays focused and driven. Drink now through 2011.

   
enamore Enamore Red Blend
$24.99
Dark and juicy, with lots of fig, blackberry, ganache, dark licorice and spiced coffee notes. Rather toasty on the finish but has the flesh for balance. Like an Amarone in style. Malbec, Syrah, Bonarda and Cabernet Franc.
 

   
pannotiatorrontes Pannotia Torrontes
$10.99
Pannotia’s Torrontes shows intense jasmine and rose aromas, but unlike other intensely aromatic Torrontes, this is never heavy, ponderous or sweet. Instead the wine shows citrus elements, from orange to lemon to grapefruit and a little note of green apple. This is an almost definitively aperitif-styled wine, but it’s delightful with lighter vegetarian dishes and shellfish.
 

santajuliatorrontes SANTA JULIA TORRONTES
$9.99
6541
Light and fresh, with forward peach and kiwi notes backed by a buttery hint on the finish. Great value organic wine!

   
teltecamalbec Telteca Malbec Reserve
$22.99
A deep ruby red with violet tinges with a bouquet of elegant ripe prunes and vanilla. Ripe red berry flavors and round tannins are predominant in the mouth followed by a long persistent finish. Serving Suggestion: The ideal compliment for barbecued red meats, heavily sauced pasta or hard cheese.

umachard Uma Chardonnay
$10.99
