2007 Bodega Elvira Calle "Ca' de Calle" Gran Reserva Mendoza
(out of stock)
Review Date: 1-3-2010
Interesting blend of malbec, bonarda (yum), syrah, cab, merlot. Beautiful brick red color. Lush nose of berry. Plum, red fruit in mouth with clean finish. 14% alcohol. A great wine for only 12.99
Price: $12.99
2007 Domaine des Nembrets Denis Barraud Pouilly-Fuissé "Les Chataigniers"
(out of stock)
Review Date: 12-29-2009
I had a bottle last night and enjoyed it greatly. I don't like heavily oaked chards, and I thought the oak was subtle on this. I very much enjoyed the minerality and the bright fruit.
Price: $19.99
2008 Tomero Torrontes Salta
(out of stock)
Review Date: 12-17-2009
update: Finally the 4th try of this isn't spoiled or tainted.
Color: a very pale yellow color. Clear.
Aroma: characteristic floral nose. Pineapple. Hint of citrus.
In the Mouth: A plethora of fruit – peach, green apple, grapefuit. Excellent viscosity, mouthfeel, balance, with a mouth watering, acidic finish.
Original review- I am a massive Torrontes fan after my trip to Mendoza in 2008 and try-buy every release I see. I have had this one twice, once from K&L and once from a specialty store in Santa Rosa. The first one was horrible, I wrote it off to a bad bottle, possible cork taint, although there a detectable corked odor, just the horrid finish. Dumped it. Had the second bottle last night, poured in a tasting class, this one had the same slight off nose, and the horrible finish. The person leading the class, who owns the store, was equally appalled. Either there are numerous bad cases out there, or its just bad period.
