Wine Review – 2007 Bodega Elvira Calle “Ca’ de Calle” Gran Reserva Mendoza
Happy 2010 (twenty-ten) from Simple Hedonisms!
This wine rated a 90 points from Wine Spectator, and is from the Mendoza region of Argentina. (I toured there a year ago.)
- Interesting blend of malbec, bonarda (yum), syrah, cab, merlot.
- Beautiful brick red color.
- Lush nose of berry. Plum, red fruit in mouth with clean finish.
- 14% alcohol.
- A great wine for only 12.99 on www.klwines.com
Only 500 cases made, and a few in stock – pounce!
