I am SO excited about this one!!
I recently wrote a guest post for Elle Goes Global called Wines of the World and in the post I talked about wine from France, Argentina, South Africa, and the United States. Well, the wine I’m writing about today is from Mendoza, Argentina, where the best Argentinan wine comes from.
This Alamos Malbec is amazing. I’ll just start there. I may have accidentally drunk the whole bottle. I take that back, Chris’ brother drank a little, too. 😉
It can be purchased for around $10 at grocery stores. This mama doesn’t have time to go anywhere special to buy her wine. 😉
The first thing I noticed was the dark, intense red color of the wine. The next thing I noticed was that this Malbec is VERY aromatic. I could smell cherry, peppers, and a little blackberry.
The taste was very cherry forward with hints of cocoa, and a soft spice on the finish. That is honestly all I could come up with when I was drinking it because the cherry is VERY powerful.
I think it would pair really well with barbequed foods.
Overall, it was a well balanced, medium-bodied wine with strong tannins. I’d rate it a 4.5 out 5, so for the price, it is a MUST TRY.
Have you tried this wine or a different Malbec before? What did you think? Let me know in the comments! 🙂
I wish I could taste wine like that. You’ve really opened my eyes! xo♡
You can!! I promise. 🙂 thanks for the comment!
I have never tasted this, but I would love to now. I wonder if they ship to the UK? lol
Reading this and I felt like I could actually taste it.
