We have been having pretty good success with Malbecs out of Argentina lately. They hint at similarities to a lot of the Italian styles that we like -- bold and rustic, with dark fruit -- but are a heck of a lot less expensive. This was another really good example.
The nose was very earthy, with slight notes of black cherry and plum fruit. On the palate, the cherry and plum intermingled with some vanilla and black pepper with slight notes of green pepper on the finish.
We drank this solo, but I think it would have been better with some grilled meat. It is light enough that you could pair it will grilled chicken but also has enough body to pair up with steak as well. Overall, a very versatile wine and reasonably priced at $14.99.
Cheers!
