Argentine wine reegions. Español: Regiones vitivinicolas de Argentina. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)What better setting for argentine wines than at an argentine dinner with argentine beef and empanados All of these wines come from the Salta region of Argentina which till now has not been well represented in the market.(sp) hermanos (brothers) finca las Nubes (of the clouds) and Coquena (dont know) torrontes to start.. all as good as the others. typical soft aromatic nose, touch of sweetness.2011 Hermanos cab/merlot blend didnt really impress but
2011 Hermanos Malbec/tannat blend was a hit.. pretty nose. a little aggresive on the palate but good with beef. very ripe
2010 Coqueria malbec would have surprised, very cab like. loads of tannin
2010 Finca Las Nubes Malbec another beautiful rose and spice nose and great food wine
2006 Dominga Molina Rupestre Red Blend.. MMT Malbec, Merlot and Tannat. dense color, intense flavors of dark berry and leathery tannins.. my favorite of the tasting to be sure. as much age as it had it could still age
2010 Bodega tacuil RD Malbec/Cabernet rose was plummy and tobacco... no oak was used in this wine.surprisingly
Bodega Tacuil 33 de davalos Dark intense color.. plum and blue berry. full bodied and lush.. second favorite but a little pricey 33 was the name of the ranch owned by the owners uncle
Bodega Tacuil Vinas De Davalos 2010 dark dark roasted coffee and meats.. almost reminds of a cote rotie... lots of depth and character.
