Urban Uco Malbec/Tempranillo 2008, Uco Valley, Mendoza
Argentina$13.95
(84?) - June 2010- no more than an "OK-good" wine. This wine reminds me some of a photomontage effort when trying to combine the eyes of one beautiful model with the lips of another and expect to get something better, but the outcome is not an improved version of neither of the two models, it's actually the opposite... In other words, this wine is not a good example of neither Malbec nor Temparnillo - it doesn't have the intensity I seek in Malbec and the sophistication a good Rioja delivers.
Nevertheless, for $13 it's a good medium-body-day-to-day-nothing-special wine for the summer

Stonehedge Reserve Zinfandel 2008, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County
California, Usa$17.95
90?-Oct 2010. This is a tricky one since it doesn't taste like a typical Zin. It tastes like a pinot noir... :)
on the nose-strong strawberries notes with hints of oak. On the pallet - medium+ body. Straberries, plums and a sweet finish. extremely pleasant and calling for more. Great value.

On the nose beautiful violet ripe fruit and oak.
