Good Life Guy’s Wines of the Week:
Two of the selections being poured at the above event 🙂

2010 Finca El Origen Gran Reserva Malbec, Uco Valley Argentina
Despite having tons of oaky aromas of coconut and vanilla, it’s delicious, balanced and rich, with a graphite element. The full but smooth tannins carry the thick berry and plum flavors, which help absorb the generous oak like a sponge. WE90

 

2008 Santa Carolina Reserva de Familia Cabernet Sauvignon, Maipo Valley Chile
Classic notes of cedar and cassis come across on the nose and palate of this full-bodied yet delicately balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. Its graceful structure is complemented by smooth and elegant tannins. Its finish is imbued with strong notes of dark chocolate.  WA91
