What to Expect

Argentina, and in particular the region around Mendoza, is making a name for itself as the source of some of the finest expressions of Malbec ever made. In this warm, yet dry climate the Malbec achieves near perfect ripeness endowing the wines with a velvety texture and intense flavors of blackberry, peppery spice, and balsamic herbs. The cooler, well-drained slopes of the hillsides of the region have proven to be ideally suited for Malbec, allowing for the wines to achieve a level of complexity and harmony that rivals those of Napa or Bordeaux.

Very vivid, with plum and fig notes laced with a bright violet hint. Lingering finish lets raspberry and pastis notes chime in. Fleshy and concentrated, but pure, with mouthwatering acidity. Drink now through 2010.-J.M. Wine Spectator. A Malbec wine from Mendoza in Argentina. 2008 Achaval Ferrer Malbec 750ml

Jammy, flowery nose. I am not generally a big fan of malbec on its own, but this was very nice. A gorgeous purple in the glass. Great aromas and a nice complex wine.
