Bodega del Fin del Mundo 2007 Special Blend Red (Neuquén)
-
$45
Modest lemony aromas set up additional scents of balsam wood, dried cherry, plum and spice. The palate is forward, maybe a touch sharp in terms of acidity, with rustic, roasted, leathery flavors. It is a big wine that finishes lively and also a little rooty and roasted. Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec-Merlot is the blend.

Dense, rubbery and solid in terms of black-fruit aromas. In the mouth, it feels right and fades nicely, highlighting healthy, firm blackberry, black olive and herbal flavors. Meets the norms of a very good, commendable Malbec. 14,000 cases made.

Bodega del Fin del Mundo 2007 FIN Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Patagonia)
-
$40
Baked fruit and coconut are the lead aromas, and there’s cassis and stewed berry scents as well. Gritty in the mouth, with sweet, medicinal berry fruit flavors, coconut and chocolate. Stocky, ripe, tannic and medicinal on the finish.

A bit stalky to begin with; there’s tobacco, herbs and generic berry aromas that turn raisiny upon airing. The palate is definitely on the raisiny side, and thus it’s sweet, a bit flat and ultimately tastes and feels slightly overripe.
