Variety: Pink Moscato
Region: Italy
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $9.95
Winery Review: "A blend of Moscato and Rabosos grapes it has a pale rose color, notes of red berries (strawberry and raspberry), with the characteristic and fragrant bouquet and palate that is typical of the Moscato grape."
My Review: This wine had a lot of fruity aromas. The taste was extremely sweet and had many fruit components, especially strawberry.
Variety: Torrontes
Region: Chillecito in La Rioja
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $9.95
Winery Review: "The 2012 Torrontes comes from Chilecito in La Rioja. It has a light floral nose with touches of lemon peel and nectarine. The palate is crisp and taut, showing far more vivacity and fruit that the nose implied, finishing with a flourish of apricot and white peach. Drink now."
My Review: This wine had hints of flowers to the smell. The wine was also very crisp and had a nice full body. The flavors were lemon and peach.
Variety: Malbec
Region: Argentina
Country: Argentina
Year: 2012
Price: $8.95
Winery Review: "The nose is full of mellow raspberry and cherry, while the palate is fleshy and round, with blackberry and a touch of raisin. Plump, not edgy, and ready to drink, with coffee and mocha notes on the finish."
My Review: This wine had a big coffee component to the smell. The flavors were of cherry and blackberry. I found this wine very easy to drink.
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Argentina
Country: Argentina
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95
Winery Review: "Light and clean, which compared to other Argentine Pinot Grigios is not something to dismiss. Feels solid and punchy, with orange and mango flavors. Has nice overall clarity and balance, with a citrusy finish."
My Review: This wine did not have much on the nose as well as the pallet. However this wine had a citrusy, silky and acidic feel to it.
Variety: Carascal
Region: Argentina
Country: Argentina
Year: 2008
Price: $13.95
Winery Review: "Aged for two years in cask, the 2008 Carrascal is a blend of 40% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. It has a rustic blackberry, scorched earth and leather-scented bouquet with touches of pressed flowers. The palate is well-balanced with crisp tannins, expressive black tarry fruit and a Bordeaux-like finish. Drink now-2016."
My Review: I absolutely hated this wine. The smell was of rubber and new leather as well as it was very dry. I hated everything about it.
