Achával Ferrer Mendoza Malbec 2009 at Trump Tower Terrace Chicago

 Achával Ferrer Mendoza Malbec 2009 at Trump Tower Terrace Chicago

Dark purple color - medium-full bodied - nicely balanced and somewhat complex - blackberry and black raspberry fruits are laced with a graphite, leather and mineral structure that grips throughout the long lingering moderate tannin finish. Pleasant easy drinking wine that is sufficiently complex for food. 
One of  Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines for 2010. 91 points from the Wine Spectator:

RM 89 points.

Tasted at the Terrace Bar on Sixteen at Trump Tower, Chicago. Make sure you come for the view and pick a good day and time since you'll pay for a bottle in the single by-the-glass price. Not bad when tasting a high/over achiever such as this one.

Owen Roe Abbot's Table Washington State Columbia Valley Red Wine 2007

Owen Roe Abbot's Table Washington State Columbia Valley Red Wine 2007

Dark inky color - full bodied - big bold complex so forward as to be almost overpowering, overly ripe black fruits, almost raisiny with a layer of tar with a subtle tone of chocolate trying to break out - a bit awkward - not for the feint of heart - needs big food to stand up with. From a producer with a sense of humor given some of his other outrageous wines/labels such as Sinister Hand.... 

RM 86 points.

Took to Bob & Gloria's for dinner. Wife Linda liked it.
