2009 LaGarde GuardaLujan de Cuyo Malbec Blend, Malbec more |
11/5/2011 - ricardomt wrote: 84 pointsVery good blend from Argentina. Complex and rich on the nose, medium to large body, silky on the mouth, easy to drink and still a very interesting wine. Would go great with pizza. |

2008 Bodegas Beronia Tempranillo Riojamore |
11/5/2011 - ricardomt wrote: 88 pointsVery, very good Rioja. I am a Tempranillo lover and this wine is a great sample of what this varietal is all about. Rich red fruit, subtle and soft oak notes, some minerality and rubbery notes on the nose, medium body and well balanced tannins. Exceptional wine. |

10/22/2011 - ricardomt wrote: 90 pointsVery good Valpolicella from TSA. Well-rounded wine, very balanced and smooth. Rich red fruit on the nose, nice tannins and a hint of mint on the palate. Well worth a try. |

2009 Casella Cabernet Merlot Mallee PointSouth Eastern Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/23/2011 - ricardomt wrote: 78 pointsVERY acidic for a cab. Basic red fruit on the nose, nothing special here. Cheap bottle of wine, though. Sold in Brazil by Pão de Açúcar as part of their "Club des Sommeliers" budget selection. |

2009 Casella Cabernet Merlot Mallee PointSouth Eastern Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/7/2011 - ricardomt wrote: 79 pointsMedium body. Basic red fruit on the nose and on the mouth. Very acidic for a cab-merlot blend. Not a spectacular wine at all, just enjoyable. Good companion for a Wednesday night pizza. |

7/22/2011 - ricardomt wrote: 78 pointsI had better wines for less. Basic dark fruit and some plastic-ness taste notes on the mid palate. Good tannins though. Alcohol bothered me a little in this wine. |

2007 Santa Carolina Merlot ReservadoColchagua Valley more |
5/21/2011 - ricardomt wrote: 81 pointsRegular wine, not a bad Merlot. Red fruit, soft tannins, kind of a "ghost" wine on the after palate. Some wet socks notes on the nose. Not much on this wine that came with a Wine Enthusiast Best Buy for 2009. |
