QOTD: De Martino Single Vineyard Malbec Maule Valley. 100% Malbec from bush vines but it doesn’t taste of fake violets that some overripe South American malbecs can do!

QOTD – 2004 Bodegas Escorihuela GascÃ³n Sangiovese. Had it in a little restaurant in the town of Trevelin in Patagonia, Argentina while on a fishing trip. We’d been drinking a LOT of wine and this one really stood out.

I realize that GV tastes A LOT more wines than I do, but I disagree with his 84 on the Coyam. I don’t think you get this kind of fruit and tannin balance from 84 point aussie and spanish wines. This wine has big fruit with acidity and back end tannins to match – great with a prime rib steak. Definitely new world and not overly complex but this is a well made wine and a pretty good QPR. I’m getting some more. Gotta trust my own “pal” after all.

I had the Colome Torrontes 2007 the other day…I was blown away with how aromatic it was. Almost too much coming out of that glass. Flowers, soap all day, and a little citrus. I definitely want to find that Chocalan, sounds awesome.

QOTD: Favorite wine from South America has to be the Dolium Reserva Malbec, I forget which year though.

It was an Undurraga (Chile) but since I was starting in the world of wine tasting, I did not write its name down. I’m still searching for it. It was delicious. By the way, it’s pronounced Melchor (like ch- in chocolate) otherwise it sounds Mel-core.

Great show, great job!!!

Nice show for my birthday (okay, not today, but when it was posted). QOTD: I enjoyed the Vina Almaviva quite a bit. The Clos de Siete was also pretty good the first time I tried it, although a recent tasting was not nearly as good.
