When the stock market gets you down, we recommend finding joy in these two amazing value wines!

1) Hacienda del Plata, Malbec Grand Reserve 2005

Per K&L Wine Merchant: “Further proof that the wines of Argentina are to be bought and enjoyed comes in the form of this 2005 Hacienda del Plata Malbec. This wine is an unbelievably good value and drinks like a wine of two to three times the price. The 2005 Hacienda del Plata lets you know from the very first aroma that this is a serious wine, with deep black fruit, crushed volcanic rock, graphite and dark chocolate aromas. This wine smells silky. On the palate it delivers with a plush, velvety mix of blackcurrant, black cherry and blackberry fruit which mingles nicely with the dark chocolate and mineral notes. This finish is long, smooth and plush, with the dark fruit flavors setting like a Hawaiian sunset on your palate."

2) Notro, Tinto de Montana, Sangiovese-Bonarda 2007

Lovely, balanced blend of 50% Sangiovese  and 50% Bonarda. A very fun, accessible Argentian wine.
