largoooo Weekend ...!!!!! and what better way to taste wines with friends?. I do not usually do this kind of notes on the blog but at the insistence of a couple of friends of Viedma to put some wine on top you've tried lately, allow me to upload these 4 wines I took the long weekend of 24/03.
The comment briefly, according to my impressions, because my idea is not to criticize wines on the blog, but comment that I liked for its good price / quality.

Colome Torrontes 2009 - $ 50: Bodega Colome Calchaquí Valley of Salta, with grapes from vineyards in 2000 and 2300 mts. high.
pale golden yellow with medium brightness. Floral aromas of jasmine, orange and some honey. Soft and fresh, well balanced in the mouth, also in central and correct acidity. Almost no bitter typical of this variety. Is 13.7 ° and medium persistence.
Conclusion: particularly do not like the strain, but this torrontes was very good and very good price for what they gave to accompany fried prawns and squid rings. Good RPC
Crios Malbec 2009 - $ 50: of Dominio del Plata winery in Lujan de Cuyo - Mendoza.
good deep violet red. Many red raspberry fruit and light spice, very young nose. Meaty, structured, with good balance and central tendency of the mouth below his sweet attack. 13.9 ° and persistence has medium-high.
Conclusion: never let me down this line in your Malbec, the experience of my admired winemaker Susana Balbo must add that this wine received 90 points rated by Robert Parker The Wine Advocate. It also has screw cap !!!!! That is excellent for the preservation of young wines. We found some residue of crystals in the bottom of the bottle, but it was not important. The best wine of the night in Price / Performance. "We liked a lot .... muchooo. RPC Very Good.
A Lisa Malbec 2009 - $ 120: Warehouse Noemia Blue Valley - Rio Black.
ruby \u200b\u200bred with violet reflections and average depth. Plum fruity, something spicy, herbal and light toast. Penetrating, lively, light, dominates the center and sides of the mouth by high acidity. Is 14 ° and medium persistence.
Conclusion: this wine has 91 pts. Wine & Spirits and 90 pts. Wine Spectator. I visited the winery Noemia and treated me very kindly Teresa Gaspar Portuguese winemaker who gave me a tour of the vineyards and I explained how elaborate their way biodynamic wines. I could not put together a full story about the lack of information and inability to buy these wines on the market national and barely got this to Lisa. Mmmmmm ...... just say you have a taste very "French-style" but for the English or European market prefers more acidic wines. The wine is very well prepared, is impeccable, but it seems expensive and some are upset its acidity.
Colomé Tannat 2009 "Special Lot" - $ 85: Bodega Colome Calchaquí Valley - La Brava - Salta, with grapes from vineyards of 1700 mts. high and only 2300 bottles.
Deep ruby \u200b\u200bred with black-purple flashes. Some red fruit, spicy and dominate the aromas more eucalyptus and mint. Tough, strong and penetrating, with no fresh attack and a tendency to give back the mouth center. 14.8 ° and persistence has medium-high.
Conclusion: was also this tannat though somewhat "hard" in the mouth with tannins still very rough, sure to win with time in bottle. Regular RPC.
