2009 Quinta Dos Murcas Reserva
A well-balanced wine, this works solidly with beef and other simple stews. Recommended (90).
2011 Pepi Chenin Blanc-Viognier
Try it as an aperitif wine, with vegetarian as well as meat meals, and even with subtle lemon cookies for dessert. Great for casual meals. Highly Recommended (90).
2009 Donnafugata Ben Ryé Passito di P...
Dry on the palate with medium acidity, medium-full body, and medium flavors of citrus zest, peach, pink apples, and yellow cherry. Recommended (89-91).
2011 Gauchezco Torrontes
The nose is very floral, with near gardenia-power white flowers, with underlying aromas of ripe peaches. The palate shows wax and citrus fruits, lemon juice and lemon pith. The lemon lingers on the finish, transitioning to hints of roasted almonds as it fades. DH.
2009 Sin Zin Zinfandel
Notes of strawberry and a very light touch of pepper in the aroma, both of which continue on the palate. The body is somewhat light for a zinfandel, but there are some tannins to balance the fruit. Nice with grilled burgers.
