Banfi's Southern Hemisphere property was the focus today.
Trivento Amaro Sur 2010 Argentina red blend malbec/bonarda and syrah blend. plush and elegant. syrah seems to give some body and smoke
Trivento Amaro Sur 2009 Argentina white blend. torrontes/viognier/Chardonnay... showing the soil in the nose.. more riesling like.. a little over the hill.Usually the white is a vintage ahead of the red not behind.
Concha y Toro Terrunyo (triangle) Sauvignon Blanc 28 rich and thick.. ultra herbacious... cant imagine this as a food wine...over the top sb
Concha Gran Reserva Malbec Chile.. yes chile.. and very lush with some good grip on the palate.. if not too much from the new american oak.... interesting.. cab drinkers malbec
Gran Reserva Carmenere 2009 smoky with just a touch of green bell pepper on the nose, a nice fruit filled palate..
Marques de Casa Concha Cabernet 2009.. described as the baby melchior.. lots going on with this wine.. velvety texture and black fruit...best wine of the group
Trivento Golden Reserve 2008 malbec mostly again with the smoke... lots of griip.. a little heat on the finish but still yummy
