Colonia Las Liebres Red blend 2011 (Argentina) 13.9% alcohol, $11

Andrea says (17): Cranberry color. Smelled like spices, vanilla and pepper, also blackberry and chocolate. The taste was tart, and had a blackberry flavor. I like it. 







Araldica Albera Barbera 2008 (Italy) 14% alcohol, $14


Andrea says (16): A bloody, brownish color. Smelled very pungent, a musty, earthy, alcohol smell. Tasted spices, very grapey.

Host: Andrea

 Alamos Mendoza Malbec 2011 (Argentina) 13.7% alcohol, $17

Andrea says (17.5): A pretty fushia-burgandy color that smelled like raspberry, strawberry and cranberry, yet also smokey. Very jammy with tobacco notes. Very smooth mouth feel, good body, tasted like strawberry jam. I like this very much. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luzon Red Blend 2010 (Jumilla, Spain) 14% alcohol, $9

 

Andrea says (13.5): Ruby colored, more red than pink. The wine had a musty, earthy, smokey smell. Almost smelled like suede. Also some strawberry and vanilla aromas. The taste was fairly tart, cranberry and strawberry. I marked this down in the sugar, balance and overall catagories. I liked the Malbec better.
