We are delighted to welcome a new addition to our Berrys’ Own Selection family: our delicious Argentinian Malbec. Sourced by our South American buyer Simon Field MW, from the celebrated producer Pulenta Estate in Mendoza, the wine fills a hole that has been present in our range for some time, (...) Clos de la Siete 2009 (Michel Rolland) This is a luscious, full-bodied wine (50% Malbec, 30% Merlot, 10/10 Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) from Mendoza with a rich, ripe, perfumed nose of deep luscious black fruit, a very intense palate of dark fruit, very balanced tannin and acidity, and long (...) [A Wine Story Wine Reviews] Mendoza, Argentina Crushed dark cherries, plum, subtle oak and what some might call a barnyard aroma all blended together to give this wine an interesting start. I wouldn't get too concerned on the barnyard thing as being anything disgusting. This is mostly to describe a wine that is young and (...)

That’s the question I asked at the end of my last post. An Unlikely Curse Chile has earned a reputation for good value Cabernet, Chardonnay and (...) That’s a trick headline. I’m not talking about Rioja, as in one of Spain’s most ancient and notable wine-producing regions, but La Rioja, the oldest of Argentina’s vineyard and winemaking areas known principally for white wines from torrontes and muscat of Alexandria, though recently there have (...) The 2006 William Knuttel “Le Petit Malin” Sonoma County Red Blend is made up of 65% Malbec (Alexander Valley), and 35% Petit Verdot (Dry Creek Valley).
