first april tasting

Lots of new wines to taste this week. Hard to believe its April, when looking outside it feels more like late February.

From Kim Klein of Gateway Distributors
Domaine Don Gonzalo of Argentina
I was a little skeptical at first because the vintage. but both wines showed well.
Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve 01 True cab flavors, nice acidity a quick but pleasant finish.Nice bright color for an older wine.

Malbec Private Reserve 2001 Juicy and nice oak..a touch rustic or rough on the finish but a really nice food wine.

Both wines will be priced around $15

You will find them in the newly expanded Chilean and Argentine section.
