If you’re expecting one of those rich, layered Argentine-style Malbecs, you might be disappointed. Yorkville’s organic Malbec is none of the above, although it is quite charming, almost beautiful. Crafted in a lighter style, with easy tannins and loads of fragrant red fruit, it’s both tasty sipper and a serious food wine with milder dishes such as roasted chicken or pork loin.
