What's New in the Spectator


Hot off the press, the current Wine Spectator Selections:


Bodega Catena Zapata Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendoza Argentina 2008
This is solid, with dense but polished structure holding the weighty core of plum, fig paste and black currant preserves together. The dark, lengthy finish lets a nice Kenya AA coffee note chime in. 
90 Points Smart Buy

 
Bodegas Esmeralda Chardonnay, Mendoza Argentina 2009
Spicy pineapple and tangerine aromas and flavors are backed by vibrant acidity, with a touch of chalky mineral chiming in on the finish.
86 Points Best Values
