 In an effort to satisfy the growing demand for Argentine Malbec, Colores del Sol offers this 2010 Malbec for the attractive price of $12.  Sourced from the Lujan de Cuyo district of the Mendoza Valley, this “Colors of the Sun” Malbec has a deep purple-ruby color, low intensity nose with subtle blackberry and toasted oak notes, medium flavors, firm tannins, sharp acidity, 13.5% alcohol and a long tannic finish.  Although the price might suggest that the consumer “drink now or soon,” this Malbec needs more time.
