2005 Doña Paula Malbec Luján de Cuyo Mendoza
Malbec is, if you will, the "fifth Beatle", the fifth grape in the
cocktail that was Bordeaux, the primary grape (but) in the almost
unheard of "black wine" of Cahors, where it is known as the Auxerrois
or Cot. Finally, in Argentina, it seems reasonable to say, Malbec has
found its true home. And for those disaffected lovers of Bordeaux
(yeah, it's the price of the stuff, alright) Argentine Malbec may just
be all the love you need. Produced from the fruit of own-rooted vines
grown in once alluvial
soils (medium-depth with a bit of clay and some smooth round pebbles)
at elevations of 1,000 mètres at Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza,
Argentina, Doña Paula (100%) Malbec is decidedly Claret-like in
style but, then, this is where is where the old-world meets new. Fleshy
purple red in color; there's a cool sophistication on the nose with
notes
of spiced plum, cedar, pencil shavings and an inkling of vanilla and
spice from barrel aging;
velvety palate feel with new world richness and ripeness of fruit;
finely
resolved tannins and just the gentlest astringency on the
finish making this a perfect choice for pairing with fine red meats or
soft-ripening cheeses.

2005 Doña Paula Shiraz-Malbec Luján de Cuyo Mendoza
While Malbec can certainly reasonably
lay claim to the title of national wine grape of Argentina, Syrah works
well there, too. And Syrah gets a big bold plus in our book for working
well with others: with Grenache in the southern Rhône Valley of France, with
Cabernet Sauvignon in Australia and, yes indeed, with Malbec in
Argentina. This 2005 Doña Paula Shiraz-Malbec is characteristically cool on the nose with
scents of grape pomace, blueberry, blackberry and bramble; somewhere
between Claret and the south of France and the new world on the tongue;
demonstrates the sophistication of the gentleman farmer, but one who
doesn't mind rolling up his sleeves and getting his hands full of wonderful
wine-growing dirt. This one's for real and, at its price, a steal!
