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.

Not a very complex Malbec, but it definitely has all of the features that define the varietal. Very well balanced in terms of sweet/dry and fruity/spicy. Sweet, smooth tannins. Reflects its price well.

Catena seems to always put put quality Malbec. While this is no Bodegas it is finely balanced and a great value.

Mendoza wines were hits for us in summer 2008. Full bodied, fruit forward, tannin on the backside.

Big bold Malbec, with lots of cherry and smoke. Very dark purple color. Excellent value.
