This wine delivers just what you hope an inexpensive Malbec will — solid varietal character, bright black and blue fruit, mild spice and pepper, dry in style yet juicy in feel and a pleasant medium long finish. Burgers and simple grilled meats will sit happily next to this one — and you’ll likely be able to find it where you buy the meat.
