2007 Dominio del Plata Susana Balbo Signature Malbec +79798 $27.95

Rated 90

“Sports an enticing mocha- and spice-filled nose, along with creamy raspberry and boysenberry fruit flavors that carry through the lengthy, pure finish. Drink now through 2009. 6,000 cases made. –JM”

Wine Spectator, November 15, 2008

Rated 91

“Very deep purple colour. The nose is wildly exuberant, with abundant wood-derived aromas of vanilla, caramel and other sweet baking spices, alongside sumptuous dark red berry and plum fruit. The palate is fat, rich, lush and mouth-filling, with a luxurious texture and moderate plus finish. A thoroughly modern and compelling Malbec that will satisfy many at this price - easily the top Malbec pick in this release.”

John Szabo First in Line - EReport - June 20, 2009
2006 Vesevo Aglianico Beneventano +120907 $16.95

Rated 89

“The 2006 Aglianico Beneventano is absolutely delicious in this vintage, not to mention a terrific value. This plump, juicy red offers plenty of varietal character in its dark cherries, herbs, leather and earthiness, with notable clarity and lovely overall balance. A forward, fruit-driven Aglianico, it is best enjoyed on the young side. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.”

“Vesevo is a terrific source for delicious wines made in a soft, silky style.”

The Wine Advocate, #182, April 30, 2009
2000 Aurelio Settimo Barolo Rocche +975136 $64.95 (very limited quantities in selected stores)

Rated 92

“Fantastic aromas of plums, fresh flowers, licorice and tar follow through to a full-bodied palate and supersilky tannins. This is tight but shows excellent potential. Best after 2008. 1,700 cases made. – JS.”
