Argento, a name that derives from the Latin word for “silver,” has been making wine for a decade and now is entering the U.S. market with a range of regular and reserve wines, including this juicy value Malbec. A characteristic deep purple-ruby color leads to forward blackberry aromas. The medium flavors show a lot of ripe black fruits, a touch of anise, all supported by firm tannins and good acidity. It finishes dry, at 13.5% alcohol and with plenty of lingering fruit and nicely integrated tannins.
