Malbec

Nieto Senetiner
Luján de Cuyo Reserva Malbec 2008 . .
. . .
7.99
We taste lots of sub-$10 Malbecs, and this one stands proudly above
the crowd. Clean, gutsy and easy-drinking. A steal at this
price!
88/100 - Our score.
87/10 - International Wine Cellar. "($10) Bright medium ruby. Aromas
of blackberry and mocha. Dark berry and black plum
flavors are complicated by tobacco and licorice
hints. Supple but not especially sweet; in fact, a
serious wine for this price range. Spreads
out nicely on the finish, which features dusty tannins. Very good
value." (Argentina)

Achával-Ferrer
Mendoza Malbec 2009 . .
. . .
17.99
An outstanding new release from this legendary
Malbec producer!
91/100 - Wine Spectator. "A nice minerally spine
drives this, with the core of damson plum, raspberry
ganache and blackberry fruit
staying sweet but racy and defined. Violet
and graphite hints add length on the
mouthwatering finish. Drink now." (Argentina) |
