Alamos, Mendoza (Argentina) Malbec 2013

Aug 26, 2015

By Rich Cook

The high altitude vineyards of Uco Valley (yes, that sounds strange to me, too) have a propensity for pungently peppery Malbec, and it shows in this spicy, dry bottling that’s meant to pair with parilla – the Argentine tabletop mixed beef grill.  Give it a good decant to allow the pepper to soften a bit, and the berry and meaty character to come out.
