Bodega Elena de Mendoza, Mendoza (Argentina) Malbec 2010

Nov 9, 2011

By Michael Apstein

 Malbec is all the rage these days.  Most, especially at this price, are just overdone big red wines.  This one, in contrast, with a stated alcohol of 13.8%, is certainly fruity and bold, but not over the top and actually has complexity with layers of flavors.  Supple tannins make it easy to enjoy now with a steak.  An excellent buy.
