2008 Bodega Norton Malbec Mendoza
$ 6.99"This has the pure flavor of freshly pressed cherries, with an accent on ripeness that includes darker flavors of blackberries. The finish is fresh and seductively sweet." 88 points - Wine & Spirits, June 2009 "Sweet, intriguing aromas of orange peel, spearmint and boysenberry jam give this individuality, while the flush palate serves up soft but ripe plum and berry flavors. Uncomplicated, with weight and adequate freshness. A Best Buy." 86 points - Wine Enthusiast, August 1, 2009 "The unoaked 2008 Malbec displays a nose of spice box and black cherry followed by a medium-bodied, tasty wine with a solid core of fruit and no hard edges. Drink this friendly effort over the next 3 years." 85 points - Jay Miller for Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 184 "Fresh and forward, with medium-weight grape and mixed berry fruit backed by a toasty finish. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 186,000 cases made." 84 points - Wine Spectator, Wed Only 2009
"This feels perfectly ripe, the flavors ringing with bell-like clarity. The scent is pure heaven, the sweet flower and peach notes tempered by more savory herbs and spices. The flavors follow in that vein, silky but not weighty, with bright acidity and a saline minerality balancing ripe stone fruit. Pair it with lobster or scallops." 92 points - Wine & Spirits, February 2009 "Very juicy and still a touch compact, with green almond, fig and anise notes waiting to come out from behind the fennel and mineral. Long finish. Cellar short term to let this open up. Best from 2009 through 2011. 20,000 cases made." 91 points - Wine Spectator, December 31, 2008 "( two-thirds raised in stainless steel and the balance in new barriques Green-gold. Spicy white peach and lemon aromas are complicated by zesty minerals and white flowers. Fleshy orange and pit fruit flavors stain the palate and expand with air, picking up a refreshing peach skin quality. The minerals return on the finish, which is brisk, focused and long." 90 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 09
"The 2000 Brut Dom Perignon is a gorgeous, seductive wine that floats on the palate with remarkable grace. Toasty aromas meld into freshly cut flowers, apricots and pears, with sweet notes of mint and licorice that linger on the long finish. This perfumed, inviting Dom Perignon is elegance personified, and in this vintage the wine fully merits its lofty reputation. According to winemaker Vincent Chaperone there is only one disgorgement date for the first release of Dom Perignon, and the 2000 was disgorged over a period of weeks in March and April, 2007, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018." 94 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 180 "Playing off the ripe 2000 vintage, this bottling of Dom Pérignon has intriguing layers of fruit complexity, from mature golden apple to lemon and greener tones of lima and wax beans. The flavors are clean and lasting, transformed into the glistening minerality of limestone. Firm and harmonious, this should develop for a decade or longer." 94 points - Wine & Spirits, December 2008 "Pale gold with a fine bead. Gently smoky aromas of lemon, pear, bay, buttered toast and lees. Round, lightly sweet orange and pear flavors are underscored by smoky minerals and given bite by refreshingly bitter lemon pith. Finishes with a lingering smokiness. This is drinking very well right now and offers classic DP toastiness." 92 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 08
