Malbec: Argentina

One of the traditional "Bordeaux varietals", Malbec has characteristics that fall between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.  It brings very deep color, ample tannin, and a particular plum-like flavor component to add complexity to claret blends. It finishes dry and does well in our oak barrels. Pairs with dishes of lamb, pork, or beef. Not recommended for pasta dishes with red sauces like Marinara.
