Clos de la Siete 2009 (Michel Rolland)
This is a luscious, full-bodied wine (50% Malbec, 30% Merlot, 10/10 Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) from Mendoza with a rich, ripe, perfumed nose of deep luscious black fruit, a very intense palate of dark fruit, very balanced tannin and acidity, and long finish with more dark rich ripe fruit. Great with steak. Powerful.
Mazzocco 2009 Dry Creek Pony Vineyard,
Very lush and rich, with fragrance of jam, black cherry, and violet and jammy palate with additional flavors of ripe fig and spice. Technical data points to deep clay/loam soil and that the grapes were hand-harvested and fermented with native yeast in stainless steel tanks - aged unfined for 18 months in french oak barrels. 14.8% alcohol, 12 RS
