Terra D'oro Zinfandel Amador County 2007-

The nose is welcoming with aromas of cloves, allspice, and a dash of cinnamon, all sprinkled over a bowl of ripe blackberries. The dark, juicy fruit continues in the mouth, as plums and black cherries enter the melange. The wine finishes with a true taste of Amador County as the "Shenandoah Spice" lingers along the warm toasty notes of vanilla and molasses.

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.

Bodegas Borsao

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.
