This Panilonco Merlot Malbec 2005 from Trader Joe’s was excellent. It has a big, bold, fruit-forward, dark-berry taste. Very drinkable. And a great price, well under $10.
Hello from New Oleans where I just had a fabulous fillet mignon at Arnaud’s in the French Quarter. With my meal I chose the Kenwood Jack London Cabernet. The Kenwood winery is located in Sonoma, CA where the winery plants, farms and harvests the historical, lava-terraced vineyards of Jack London’s ranch, producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Merlot wines. Made only from Jack London vineyard grapes, these three wines are savored for their mint-accented berry flavors and smooth finishes. The dramatic Jack London label –a replica of the wolf’s head Jack London used as his book-plate logo — has created tremendous consumer interest and recognition in the wines. This information is from their website. All I can tell you is that it was a wonderful wine that was perfect with the filet. Cheers!
