Malbecs are always a favorite in our house. They pair very well with steak, and as venison is often on the table, Malbec is always on the wine rack. This vineyard was recommended to me be a salesman in the Macadoodle's store and I find it a very nice table wine. (This is how the Argentina wine found its way into my California case)
During tasting it was described to me as a bit flat. However, as the wine aired the fruity flavors came out more. I found the wine very flavorful and round. Be careful as it (like most Malbecs) will turn your lips a little purple if you over indulge!
From the vineyard (via Snooth.com) :
Argentina’s flagship red varietal, made with grapes selected from vineyards in the High Area of the Mendoza River and the East Region of Mendoza Province. All fruit is hand harvested and transported in small plastic crates to avoid damage. With plum and cherry aromas, the wine has round and supple flavors in the mouth, with truffle and vanilla notes.
Freyas Score: 7 While a little flabby it pairs wonderfully with steak and is great for the price
Cost: ~$11 Southern Missouri, bought from the Macadoodle's location in Pineville, MO. This is a great deal if you purchase it with the fantastic Macadoodle's case of wine deal. 10% off all bottles of wine not already on sale!
