Nominated for most interesting Best Buy in a long time, this oddball blend of Chardonnay and Viognier is from little-known San Juan Province in Argentina. Blended by the Australian Peter Bright, it’s a full-bodied, barrel-aged wine that’s seemingly oxidized but isn’t. Yellow in color, with roundness, depth and waxy honey, apricot, pineapple and apple flavors. Not a perfect specimen, and definitely not for everyone. But we’d drink it again, and we’d expect to be challenged.——M.S.(11/1/2008)—— 89
