While we focus on value driven Malbec from Argentina, there are producers who know that some pretty nice Cabernet can be made as well, particularly in the Uco Valley area. This example shows true to type fruit on the nose and in the mouth, with accents of graphite minerality, faint dried herbs and brown spice that ride a supple grip through a long finish that adds a touch of mint. Bring on the beef!
