Since I've been on my washington wine kick of late, I haven't had any argentine malbecs in a while. So when I came across this malbec, of which I have heard many good things, in a wineshop in boston, I had to try it. It quickly reminded me why this varietal is one of my favorites! With a nose of blackberries and some tobacco, it was deliciously smooth and full-bodied, with nice tannins, and lots of fruit going on. Wine Enthusiast gave it a 91 and made it their #1 wine on the "Top 100 Best Buys of 2007," and I would have to agree. For just under $10, this wine rocked!
