(10/31/2019) "The unoaked 2018 Malbec Clasico 2018 comes from a very good year, after 2013 and 2014, which were very difficult years, and 2015 and 2016 that saw lots of rain. According to winemaker Leo Erazo, it's the most complex wine to make because of the many different sources of grapes, growers and the volume they make. But they planted 22 hectares in 2012, so they use more of their own grapes; the wine now has some 30% of grapes from Valle de Uco, which is always a cooler region that is noticed in the wine, which is very balanced, harmonious and easy to drink. It has a dusty note and fine tannins; it's elegant and especially very drinkable."

(10/31/2019) "The grapey and juicy 2018 Malbec was a good representation of the varietal in the northern region of Salta, with intense aromas and pungent flavors. It's approachable and has very fine tannins, a dry finish and a nice texture. In reality, it also contains 10% Tannat and 5% Petit Verdot, but it can still be called Malbec."

(6/2019) "Donald Hess started Amalaya as a place to experiment with blends such as this one, combining the grapey, blowsy flavors of torrontes with riesling's acid structure in an elegant, floral white. It feels fresh and summery, with juicy citrus flavors to balance a spicy shrimp curry."

Bodegas Enrique Mendoza "La Tremenda" Alicante Monastrell 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(4/30/2019) "The pure Monastrell 2017 La Tremenda always represents great value and showcases the behavior of the grape in the Mediterranean climate and soil from Alicante. The grapes from 25-year-old vines fermented in small stainless steel vats, and the wine matured in French oak barrels for six months. There are notes of fresh fruit, rosemary and thyme, with clean aromas, open and expressive. The palate is juicy and round, and this is an entry-level red that represents the higher volume in the winery. This wine reflects the changes over the last seven or eight years: they do three tries of the harvest, and the first bunches tend to go to this wine. The well-seasoned barrels also go to this wine, and the vinification is much softer. The result is fruit-driven, with just a spicy twist. 2017 seems a lot cooler in the Mediterranean part of Spain than in most of the inland regions like Rioja, Ribera del Duero and so on. This is a bargain Monastrell."

(7/31/2019) "Black garnet color. Inviting aromas of blackberry jam, roasted nuts, ripe cherry, and black peppercorns with a velvety, crisp, fruity medium-to-full body and a graceful, refreshing, medium-length blueberry compote, black toast, fennel, and caramel finish with well-integrated tannins and moderate oak flavor. A rich and fruity red blend with a peppery backbone. US red blend drinkers and Aussie Shiraz-lover alike will be drawn to this wine."

(8/2019) "A quiet wine, from the subtle hue of the color and the gentle mousse to the savory integration of the finish, this melds pale apple notes with mineral accents from the lees. It's a blend of trepat (80 percent) and garnacha, though it has barely a whisper of red fruit. The impression it leaves is tight, simple and classically beautiful."

(4/2019) "Bright violet color. Spice-accented red/blue fruits on the nose, along with a suave floral overtone. Lively and incisive on the palate, offering mineral-inflected boysenberry and raspberry flavors that show a Pinot-like light touch. Silky tannins add subtle grip to the finish, which leaves a zesty red berry note behind."
