Malbec is all the rage these days. Most, especially at this price, are just overdone big red wines. This one, in contrast, with a stated alcohol of 13.8%, is certainly fruity and bold, but not over the top and actually has complexity with layers of flavors. Supple tannins make it easy to enjoy now with a steak. An excellent buy.
