Altosur Malbec

 

Varietal:  Malbec

Region:  Argentina – South America

Cost:  $8.99 – $10.99

 

A very subtle aroma is followed by flavors of berry and cherry with a hint of spice on the back end.  Very mellow, this red is very easy to drink either with food or by itself.  Pairs well with red meat, pasta, or by itself.

 

Recommendation:  This is a great example of the Malbec grape.  A smooth, silky wine, the Altosur is a bargain and would be worth it at twice the price.  As a growing fan of the wines from South America, Malbec in particular, this is a great find and I certainly recommend it to anybody that finds it at their local store.
