Pascual Toso Malbec
91 points and the #1 wine on the "Top 100 Best Buys of 2007"
from Wine Enthusiast: "A year or two ago when Paul Hobbs
began consulting for Toso things changed for the better.
This is the rare Best Buy that can swim with the big fish
and give them a run for the money. Pop the cork and enjoy
lusty dark aromas of Turkish tobacco and berry compote. In
the mouth, there's a riot of fruit flavors to ponder
followed by a smooth, lusty finish." (12/1/2007) 90 points
and a "Best Buy" in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. (no
tasting note given, Dec. 2007) That's right we can actually
offer you a #1 wine from someone's list. Those end of the
year best lists are so frustrating for us. We usually have
our stock answer, "Sorry, it sold out months ago." But not
this time, this time we can say, "How much would you like?"
And I couldn't think of a better wine to give to any
customer looking for sheer value. This Malbec is attached to
Paul Hobbs and it shows. His trademark velvety texture and
boisterous fruit flavors are all on display here. The solid
tannins keep everything held together while the sappy
boysenberry fruit, clove spice and vanilla laced finish are
sure to please. |
