Benito’s Wine Review
Valentin Bianchi
Malbec 2011 $11.99
This has a crisp blackberry and raspberry leaf nose that is
clean, brusque and fresh, while the palate offers chunky red berry fruit that
is simple and mouth filling. Returning 20 minutes later and tasting it blind,
it actually opens beautifully. This is great value. Wine Advocate, 90 pts
Cachette Cotes du
Rhone 2011 $12.99
This blend is spicy, fresh and fruity and is bright cherry
red. It has good intensity and is dominated by aromas of almond, cherry and
spices. The nose carries through to the palate, including graphite and violet
notes, with a lengthy, focused and juicy finish.
3 Rings Shiraz 2009 $19.99
The wine is deep red with a brick-brown hue. Aromas of mocha
and black pepper as well as subtle tobacco and cigar box fill the nose. The
palate is balanced with dark berry fruits and undertones of cedar and raisins
and the medium tannins offer a smooth, round finish.
