Malbec may be the money grape of Argentina, but here in the United States it is typically used as a blending agent. Rodney Strong not only produces a stand-alone Malbec, it also offers a reserve. This vintage was outstanding for other red varieties in northern California, so it’s no surprise it suited the Rodney Strong Malbec. This is a beautiful wine that shows layered black fruits, a note of anise, and smooth, supple tannins that complete the package. Suave and polished, this wine is a show-stopper for any occasion.
