Profile Wine Group presents four all new wines at LCBO Vintages this weekend…
Susana Balbo BenMarco Malbec 2018
$19.95 | LCBO# 657601
Los Chacayes is an extraordinary terroir. Its sandy and rocky loam soil guarantees good permeability, limits the growth of the plant and ensures perfect ripening. BenMarco Malbec is a testimony of Valle de Uco, endowed with aromas of black fruits, notes of violets, pronounced acidity, firm tannins and great length.
Food pairing: Grilled red meats, sausages, seasoned or roasted pork, hard cheeses and pasta with meat-based sauces.
“Made entirely with fruit from Los Chacayes, a zone of rocky soils in the Uco Valley, this wine was aged in used barrels for 11 months. The power of the place is evident here, with the firm tannins that this mountain zone provides. The acidity is solid and the red fruit flavors are tense and very vigorous in a big wine that also offers incredibly delicious fruit and tremendous depth.” 94 Pts – Patricio Tapia’s, Descorchados 2020

Grevepesa Clemente VII Chianti Classico DOCG 2016
$18.95 | LCBO# 421388
Intense ruby red coloured wine with a strong wild berry flavour, well integrated with a hint of spices and toasted vanilla. The taste profile is a perfect harmony with sweet tannins that make it velvety and well balanced. 100% Sangiovese.
Food pairing: Starters, cheese, pasta, grilled and roasted meat, including game recipes
92 Pts – Falstaff, November 22, 2018
“Black cherry and plum fruit figures prominently in this medium-bodied red, shaded by tar, tobacco and iron accents. Saturated and vibrant, with a complex, lingering aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2033. Smart Buys.” Score – 91. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Feb. 29, 2020)

Wakefield Jaraman Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
$24.95 | LCBO# 142398
At release, the wine has a deep crimson red colour to the centre with a youthful purple hue to the edges. There are lifted aromas of dark cherry fruit along with subtle choc-mint and a hint of eucalypt. On the palate, this is a rich, full-bodied wine with intense flavours of cassis and blackberry fruit along with attractive oak characters of cigar box and tobacco leaf. Overall, the wine is well balanced with complex, well-integrated, elegant tannins providing structure and an intense, persistent length to the finish.
92 Pts & Gold – Critics Challenge 2020
“Retaining a healthy deep-red lustre. Classic aromas of cedar and cassis, a tease of eucalypt, clove and licorice. It’s a gnarly and sinewed expression – charry oak, dried herbs, a measured berry burst that affords it fleshy charm. Serious. Drink date: 2020-2028.” Score – 92.

Montes Limited Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2019
$14.95 | LCBO# 32060
The perfumed but elegant nose shows a predominance of tropical fruit such as passion fruit and fresh pineapple along with citrus notes of pink grapefruit and a floral touch recalling orange blossom on the back. The palate is medium bodied and smooth, with very vibrant, refreshing acidity and a mineral sensation that lends juiciness that lingers long on the finish.
Food pairing: White meat, fish, sushi, salads.
“Attractive notes of fresh limes and lime leaf here with grassy nuances, as well as an array of tropical fruit, such as papaya and green mango. The palate has a smooth, fresh and juicy feel with succulent, smooth-honed, bright citrus and melon flavors. Drink now. Screw cap.” 91 Pts – James Suckling, April 17, 2020
