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.

Okay for the price, but it's not a shining example of its variety. It's also much less smooth than other South American Malbecs I've tasted.

Good value with jammy berry flavors. Good with grilled burgers.

This is a malbec that I see most often in groceries. It's a pretty good buy for the price and convenience. I love malbec wine, and this is a good selection for some areas short on variety.

Picked this up on a whim. Enjoyed the wine but doesn't have the power of the malbec's I have enjoyed most.

Dark pigment, typical Malbec. Leather nose, oak (American?), spice, dark berry fruit, smoke (this may be from my BBQ).

Indeterminate fruit, not much going on in the mouth. Furry tannins. Hit of alcohol on the back. Lingering finish, but long aftertaste in the mouth, kind of an annoying coating.

Nothing special, nor disappointing here, but it and you will get your monies worth.

$11.99

Enjoyed this nice Malbec with a juicy steak.
Very intense dark berry on the nose. Velvety smooth on the palate.
