Issue #121-122
ARGENTINE WHITES - Medium priced
+
Los Cardos Sauvignon Blanc 2007 +
Los Cardos Chardonnay 2006 Doña Paula Estate Chardonnay 2006 “Three great values. The Sauvignon is in screw cap. It is intensely flavored (grapefruit, lime, lemon
grass, sweet pepper), full bodied, crisp, and very long on the finish. The Los Cardos Chardonnay is full bodied
and fruity in style, with smooth texture, ripe fruit character (peach, grapefruit, pineapple), and a medium long
finish. The Estate bottling is exceptional: full, supple, finely flavored, and complex, with good balance, and a
medium long finish. It tastes of vanilla, pineapple, toast, pear and peach.”
ARGENTINE ROSE - Medium priced
Los Cardos Malbec Rose 2007 “Screw cap. Medium pink red color. Very fruity in aroma (raspberry, plum), full bodied, well balanced,
and long on the finish. Great value.”
ARGENTINE REDS - Medium priced
Los Cardos Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 +
Los Cardos Malbec 2006 Los Cardos Syrah 2006 Estate Malbec 2006 “Doña Paula is producing some of Argentina’s top red wine values. The Cabernet is full bodied, well
balanced, ripely flavored (black currant, blackberry, toast, oak), and long and smooth on the finish. The Los
Cardos Malbec is supple and full bodied, and emphasizes fruitiness and drinkability; it is smooth and long on
the finish, with a hint of oak. It tastes of plum, blackberry, cedar, toast, and black licorice. The Syrah is a top
value: smoothly textured, nearly grapey in flavor, with light oak character, good balance, and a medium long
finish, tasting of blackberry, aniseed, and toast. The Estate Malbec is smoothly textured, full bodied, and lightly
oaky, yet with intense fruitiness (blackberry, toast, cedar), and a very long finish. Tremendous value!”
“A leading contender for the ‘world’s best wine
values’ title, Argentina is delivering tremendous
wines at still-reasonable prices. The Doña Paula
estate, for one, offers quality wines across the
board, at all price levels (Los Cardos to Estate).”
