Lets change it up this week from the high rated Spanish wines to an easy drinking Argentinian Malbec. This Malbec is from the heart of wine country in Argentina, the region of Mendoza. This winery uses 50+ years old vines. This winery makes very elegant wines which are true to style.
Fabre Montmayou Malbec 2009-
Bright-ruby red. Perfumed aromas of blackberry and Licorice lifted by violet. Suave, dry and lively in the mouth, with nicely delineated flavors of dark berries, licorice, and chocolate. builds nicely on the back half, finishing with serious broad tannins and noteworthy energy. Very sophisticated, varietally accurate Argentina Malbec for the price.
Rated 91 points by Philippe's Wine Cellar.What is the best way to end a long week? A great Spanish and Portuguese wine tasting of course, this Friday evening from 5-7pm.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Bodegas Borsao is still on a hot streak of coming out with great wines at a decent price. Tres Picos is one of many great wines they have come out with. It has had a minimum of 91 points ratings by Robert Parker and Stephen Tanzer since 2003 vintage. Tres Picos is made to drink now but can be aged 8-10 years.
Bodegas Borsao Tres Picos 2009-
Aged half in a stainless steel and half in French barriques glass-staining ruby. An explosive, flamboyantly perfumed bouquet exudes scents of blackberry, cherry cola, violet, and cracked pepper, plus a hint of smokiness. Deeply pitched flavors, of dark fruit and candied flowers reminds me of syrah, but red fruit notes emerge with air, confirming that this is a garnacha, not a syrah. Intense, focused and impressively persistent on the finish, which echoes the sweet red and dark fruit notes and leaves a subtle smoky quality.
Rated 92 points by Robert Parker

2007 Bodegas Vizcarra JC
100% tempranillo. An expansive bouquet offers scents of blueberries, violet, and smoky minerals. Fresh dark berry flavors display impressive depth and are brightened by notes of fresh flowers and mace. Finishes with excellent clarity and assertive lingering flavors of blue fruit and cherry compote.
Rated 90 points by Stephen Tanzer. Drink now - till 2025

Today, we invite you to trust us and discover a new gem from the Rioja region in Spain.
Calma is made by up-and-coming winemaker David Sampedro from the Rioja Alta subregion for the Bodegas Don Sancho Londono. One of the most talented winemakers and coming from a renowned family, David Sampedro seems to be the man behind many of Rioja's highly-rated wines.
The man is also obsessed by the "forgotten grapes", as he calls them, these varietals that were pushed aside as Rioja became a global force. One of them is Graciano - which he uses in today's offer. Graciano is a fragrant black grape that used to be far more cultivated before Tempranillo took over. It fell by the wayside because of low yields and its being prone to downy mildew. However, it is a very worthy grape variety, rich in color, fragrant, with a nice bouquet and characterized by high acidity, complex aromas, and an inky color. By the way, David does make a 100% Graciano called Gra2 delivering a distinct and more subtle flavor than Tempranillo.
2008 Calma (90% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano)
Bright violet. Black cherry and bright violet scent are followed by cracked pepper. Tightly wound at first, it then opens up to offer chewy dark fruit flavors and a touch of mocha. Dusty tannins add grip to the finish, which leaves cassis and bitter cherry notes behind.
Philippe's Everyday Price: $16.99 - Vintage Price: $15.00 or $14.25 if you buy 6 bottles or more.
Also available, David Sampedro's 100% Graciano called Gra2
2008 Vinos Sin Ley Gra2 (100% Graciano)
Aged in stainless steel. Bright ruby with pungent aromas of cassis, raspberry, graphite, and potpourri. Fresh and spicy, with sweet red and dark berry flavors, and a strong mineral underpinning. Finishes with a strong jolt of candied flowers and lingering spiciness.
Philippe's Everyday Price: $14.99 - Vintage Price: $13.50 or $13.00 if bought in conjunction with Calma.
