Algodon Wine Estates

Deep purple in color with crimson tones. The nose instantly betrays the varietal and gives an explosive, complex aroma of red fruits and a slight smokiness. On the palate it juicily brings together a delicious sweet/acid/tannic sensation, while its complex flavors linger in the after-taste.

Pairing: This wine will go well with grilled red meat, dishes accompanied by Malbec-based red wine sauces, pastas, risotto with mushrooms, and even chocolate desserts.

Serving Temperature: 59 to 64.4 °F

87 point rating, among "the best new wines from Argentina…sweet and nicely concentrated, with good breadth to the smoke and bitter chocolate flavors...No shortage of substance." - Stephen Tanzer/International Wine Cellar magazine 2009
