7/10/2011 - David_T wrote: 86 pointsJuicy nose of ripe raspberries and blackberries, also big dose of spearmint, a bit of bbq sauce and some heat on the end. This wine has an empty initial attack, but then blooms into the berries from the nose, mint midpalate, followed by a cherry pie finish. Not much in the way of tannins or structure, but nice complexity for $8. |

2/6/2010 - David_T wrote: 90 pointsI agree with the philosopher: This wine just oozes strawberry syrup over the nose, palate, and finish- it is a bit one dimensional, yes, but it is just downright delicious in every way that warrants the 90 point score. |

10/30/2011 - David_T wrote: 88 pointsNose of red fruit and chocolate. Jammy palate along with some licorice and spice notes. A bit hot, but not too oaky and I could see where many would like this. |

10/30/2011 - David_T wrote: 85 pointsPopped a second bottle a year after my last note. Nose of strawberries and dirt. Flavors of strawberries, blackcurrants, and green leaves. Turns thin and acidic on the midpalate/finish. |

2011 Mendoza Vineyards Malbec Gran Reservamore |
5/3/2016 - David_T Likes this wine: 90 pointsLots of red & black fruit, smoke, grilled meat, cocoa and earth on both the aromas and palate. The palate is lush and has good structure (medium acidity/tannins/finish); drinking very well now but should age several more years. |

10/14/2010 - David_T wrote: 88 pointsThis is my first time trying the bonarda grape. Very cabernet sauvignon-like nose; primarily black currant, with a subtle hint of strawberry. Fruit-forward palate, black currant and blackberry, with good tannins (especially for being unoaked) and structure. In a blind tasting, I would swear this is CS. Good finish. Well made wine. |

1/17/2012 - David_T wrote: 87 pointsTasted blind. This wine both tasted and smelled like cherry, some barnyard funk, earth, and cured meat. Nice complexity, but fell to pieces not long after being opened. |

12/12/2011 - David_T wrote: 84 pointsFig and dried apricot aromas come through on the nose. This almost comes across as viognier-like on the palate: a bit heavy-bodied and quite floral. There is also a hint of marzipan on the short finish. For my palate, I would love to see a touch more SB in the blend to give it more zip/acidity. |

2008 Bodega Renacer EnamoreMendoza Malbec Blend, Malbec more |
10/2/2012 - David_T wrote: 85 pointsJammy blackberry/vanilla aromas along with a bit of leather. The palate also has dark fruit jam with just a bit of earth. Low acid, low tannins, medium-length jammy finish... overall tasty and made in a style I think many would enjoy, it just lacks the acidic backbone I personally prefer. |

5/22/2013 - David_T wrote: 86 pointsNo formal notes; I had a glass of this at a meeting dinner where it was the only red offered. I thought it was quite serviceable with a structured nose; the palate offered red fruit that wasn't too jammy, light acidity and moderate tannins. I don't see it aging particularly well and is drinking well now. |

2/11/2012 - David_T wrote: 90 pointsThis shows off both the malbec and cabernet sauvignon it's made of. Richl aromas of dark fruit (black raspberry, black cherry, and black currant), coffee, leather and meat. Full-bodied and well integrated with dark fruit, leather and oak. Light acid/tannins. This is my one and only bottle so I haven't tracked it over time, but this has got to be at its peak now. |

1/7/2016 - David_T Likes this wine: 92 pointsRustic aromas of red raspberry, red & black currant, potpourri and a bit of leather. The palate matches note for note, everything above very balanced, the leather & potpourri in equal amounts with the fruit. Mediu, integrated tannins & acid. Drinking very well now and should do so through the end of 2017. |

12/20/2009 - David_T wrote: 88 pointsSimple nose of bing cherry, blackberry, and a hint of pepper. Rather full mouthfeel featuring pepper and sour cherries, with medium tannins and a blackberry finish. Nice straightforward malbec, great QPR for the $9 I paid, although WL raised the price to $13 since I bought it which may be pushing it a bit. I agree with the detailed notes left by the previous two reviewers. |

11/29/2010 - David_T wrote: flawedThough not true 'wet cardboard/newspaper/dog' scents of a true corked wine, my bottle had notes of compost & tobacco that only one other user noted here and none of the fruit notes typical of malbec. This was not at all pleasant to drink. I hope everyone else's bottle was better. |

11/5/2012 - David_T wrote: 89 pointsRed fruit, red licorice and cedar on the nose. The palate matches. Definitely fruit-forward and tons of oak, though medium acid/tannins balances it out. Medium-length vanilla/oaky finish; drink now-2015. |

10/28/2010 - David_T wrote: 84 pointsActually an orange hue not pink, this has great effervescence, aromas/tastes of mostly peach, but with good crispness. Don't misjudge an 84 point score- for the $7 I paid, I would easily buy this again, particularly for a party, and it's right in line QPR-wise with $10-15 for an 87pt Cava/Prosecco and $25-30 for a 90pt Champagne. |
