Last weekend we uncorked a bottle of this malbec.
Honestly, you can never go wrong with Malbec. The Argentinian red wine mostly resembles the love child of a pinot noir and cabernet - generally light but also full of body. This complexity is largely due to the low humidity experienced across Argentina wine country, and the proximity to the Andes Mountains and glacial regions in the south provides superb conditions for organic wines as well.
This particular bottle is the Finca Las Moras (Alma Mora) Malbec from the Pedernal Valley of Argentina.
The hint of fresh florals on the nose gives ample curiosity for this relatively unknown wine. True to traditional Malbecs, it balances the rich and initial spice with hints of vanilla in the finish. I would love to pair this wine with an asian beef dish; perhaps mongolian beef or spicy stir fry to elevate the wine's jammy boldness.
Overall it was great wine for the average price. Vague online results suggests this bottle would go for $12-15...what a deal!
Don’t know about you but I’m so ready for happy hour! What are you drinking this week?
