Terrazas de Los Andes

Reserva Mendoza Malbec 2011

Surdyks Spring 2015 Sale - $12.99 (compare at $17.99)

Staff Selection (Bill McCleary): This Malbec from Terrazas is a new wine that surprises with more than expected taste at a lower than anticipated price. This wine compares to Cahhors, France, the traditional home base of old world Malbec. The French Malbecs have a dry undertone of cured tobacco leafiness with a firm tannin and dark tart damson plum flavor. In Argentina, Malbec has emerged with the intense sun and sandy soil to become an aromatic celebrity with a lush fat rich frutiness and soft texture, often leaving it quite ordinary. Terrazas has found, in this Reserva, a rightful balance of French deep character and Argentine berry brightness. Musky aromas of plum and ripe fig, wood smoke, dark chocolate and a signature array of briary, herbal grassy notes give Malbec a distinct character. A floral rose flower fragrance added to the bouquet. A dense, full-flavor of darker fruit seems comfortable with a tannic thickness that never gets excessive. This is a wine of young character that has great aging potential. Give it a few years in your cellar and you will be enchanted by its maturity. Very approachable now, and would be good paired with a grilled tenderloin topped with melted blue cheese.

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1975

This cork was so tight it broke into thousand pieces and I've opens over 5000 bottles! This bottle was so confounding that I lost myself. This wine stood still in that space as if it just wanted to be left alone. Genie was not giving me much for more than an hour after decanting through funnel and drip by drip! I would not be able to tell you what this wine was if I blind tasted it. I looked for Eucalyptus and hints were there but not obvious...a brooding beast that was like a bear woken up before Spring. Tannins and acid balance was all there but it showed so slow but the structure was awe aspiring. I've had 76 Martha's before few times but no bottle confused me this much. The power tasted of Chambertin and then it was like odd Ausone...I'm screwed as I know so little now. — 11 years ago

Loved it. No alcohol on the nose at 14.49%. Apple, honey, pear, minerality. Great acidity. Very unique wine, and refreshing on a 100 degree day in the Willamette Valley. — 10 years ago

Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé Champagne 2002

Amplifying the fruits, acicdity and the FRESHNESS of the regular Billecarrt Rose yet did not lost the elegant and fineness of what a Billecart Rose suppose to be...
Love the 1996 vintage and hopefully this will develop gracefully with time in the bottle.

The Lost Abbey Red Poppy Ale. This is in the pantheon of great Flemish reds. Head like a root beer float and murky. Extremely well balanced, and the poppy seeds are noticeable on the lingering finish. — 10 years ago
