Our Senior Wine Advisors, Marcelo Pelleriti and (Master of
Wine) Antony Foster both had a lot to say after a recent tasting for our 2010
& 2011 wines! Marcelo took to his Twitter account and tweeted
the following (roughly translated into English):
“Wine Tasting of 2010 & 2011 Algodon
Wines. THE BONARDA! THE MALBECS! What great wines! PINOT !!!......”
“THE BONARDAAAA! Micro-vinification! I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!”
“Attention: the Merlot from Algodon Wine Estates
in San Rafael will
surprise you, think HIGH END! “
“Finishing an incredible tasting at Algodon. Great Malbecs, Bonardas! And MERLOT!”
“Finishing an incredible tasting at Algodon. Great Malbecs, Bonardas! And MERLOT!”
Anthony Foster
followed up with a wonderfully encouraging report as well! Here’s some of what he said after our wine
council’s recent tasting of 46 of our wines, all from the 2010 and 2011
vintages:
“From the quality of the 2011
vintage, there will be a premium line for 2011. A number of wines shone, most
notably an amazing Pinot Noir and various parcels of each of the varieties we
grow. There is not a weak link amongst them, as my tasting notes will show.”
This is great news for our products, but hopefully more so for the
real estate from which they are born!
Construction on our first homes are continuing nicely, and we are excited
for our future residents and private vineyard owners!
