Buon Giorno, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The extraordinaire expression of the Argentinian Malbec grape variety was not an instant success in Argentina. Old vines were grubbed up to make room for Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It was the result of adaption to the environment and terrior which is in high altitude which has brought out this flavorful dark, powerful and velvety red. The grape is originally from France, however, it is used in Multi Varietals. In Argentina, it is predominately employed as a Mono Varietal. Here are some which I believe are exported to the USA ... and the UK ...
Is anybody a fan of Argentinian Reds ? Would love to hear your feedback.
argentinian malbec red recommendations
1) LUCA MALBEC - UCO VALLEY : espresso and spice notes, with boysenberry and shiso leaf aromas
2) TIKAL MALBEC MENDOZA NATURAL : ripe plum and blackberry mature fruit and licorise hints with a long finish
3) VIÑA COBOS MALBEC - UCO VALLEY BRAMARE : This unique red possesses a cocoa infused finish and dark plum and boysenberry notes
4) POESIA CLOS DES ANDES RESERVA MENDOZA 2006 : this blackberry bouquet with tannins that frame finish and linger with a subtle licorise is just what one would enjoy with a prime rib or filet mignon ...
5) DOMINIO DEL PLATA - MALBEC MENDOZA BEN MARCO 2009 : Framed with a subtle woodsy finish, this ripe black fruit Malbec is luscious.
6) ARGENTO MALBEC SAINSBURY : Produced by Catena Winery who is a pioneer of the single varietal Malbec in Argentina. This wine possesses a hint of cocoa and spice in the finish.
7) SAINSBURY FINCA FLICHMAN MISTERIO MALBEC : Intense black violet in hue, with a kiss of vanilla, and loaded with ripe fruit, is a lovely wine with your beef.
8) TERRAZAS DE LOS ANDES RESERVA MALBEC : This wine had been produced 1.000 metres above sea level in the Andean foothills of Argentina. A well structured silky mouthfeel red, with cocoa that wraps itself around the luscious red cherry fragrant fruit.
