Thad Cox Jr.: Wines from Argentina that break the mold » Knoxville News Sentinel
Another Argentina producer that has strayed from the mainstream is Luca Winery. Owned by Laura Catena, Luca Winery's mission is to produce small production wines by working with the best growers within Argentina. While they do produce an outstanding Malbec, my favorite wine from them is the 2010 Laborde Double Select Syrah. That's right, Syrah. Boasting the structure and weight of a full-bodied Barossa Shiraz with the complexity and flavors more reminiscent of a California Central Coast Syrah, it's all here in this full-bodied, bold red. A perennial 90+ point rated wine from The Wine Advocate; the 2010 version keeps the rating streak alive and can be found for under $25 a bottle.
