Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

This deeply seductive and concentrated wine, offers dazzling aromas of black cherries, violets, cassis and mocha-infused finish. This winery's name is for the three winds that blow through the Mendoza region of Argentina: Polar, Zonda and Sudestada (Southeast). Malbec, the country's flagship red grape, displays wonderful complexity and concentration without being heavy or tannic. In my Drinks Matcher (www.nataliemaclean.com/matcher), I pair this wine with many meat dishes, but try it with barbecue, especially the traditional Argentine asado for a mind-blowing, palate- loving experience! This wine will be included in the Vintages September release, but you may find it elsewhere before then.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
