Not bad for the price class, just not memorable:
2004 Bodegas Nieto Senetiner, Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina, $9. The wine is underscored by plum, dried fruit and oak accents. It is well balanced, with bright acidity and soft tannins. This is a nice, inexpensive Malbec for those grilled burgers; 84/86.
Ditto:
2006 Drylands, Riesling, Marlborough, New Zealand, $15, 1,000 cases. Citrus and white peach aromas radiate from this light gold Riesling. It is crisp and lean in the mouth, with honeysuckle and lime flavors becoming pronounced; 87/88.
