Temma Malbec Reserva 2006

If you’re familiar with South American wines then you’ll appreciate this lush Malbec from Argentina. Thanks to the region’s hot summer days and cool nights which allows the grapes to fully ripen, the Mendoza region is no stranger to producing wines of the quality of this 2006 Reserva. A thoroughly enjoyable wine that is well structured and smooth, this Temma Malbec is full of raspberry, blackberry, and blackcurrant fruits with concentrated notes of oak and spice. With its complex flavors and full body, Temma Malbec Reserva 2006 pairs well with hearty foods including red meats, steak, lamb, boar, duck and strong cheeses. This is an excellent choice of wine to bring to the next wine and cheese party you attend.

Casa Donoso Bicentenario Cabernet Franc 2004

Chile is a country that produces a great Cabernet Franc wine, and this blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec is quite remarkable. This 2004 Bicentenario from Casa Donoso is expressive yet delicate with a noticable difference from their French counterparts. With an impressively bright garnet color the Casa Donoso Bicentenario has fruit aromas of cherry, blackberry and blueberry and has a well structured palate of ripe red fruit, spice and wood notes with a long cherry fruit finish. You’ll enjoy pairing the Casa Donoso Bicentenario Cabernet Franc 2004 with beef, poultry, cold cuts, and grilled fish dishes and will age well until 2015.
