Two wine bulletins in one week, I'm blowin up. This time is cheap but good Argentinian Malbec, Alcion Malbec '06 for $4. This wine drinks many times above it's price. Be careful though when searching out cheap Malbecs, there are many out there and most aren't good, but some are just plain incredible values, like this one. On the nose it definitely has some wood smell, some oak for sure but it is well done oak. It is good oak well integrated, not to over the top in your face, it's balanced. Also some earth smells going on. The tannins are soft the mouthfeel is gentle, the finish smooth but doesn't last long. The flavors are of cherry and some other dark fruit, dark fruit that is soft not bitter. This wine will definitely please a lot of palates not to mention, going easy on the wallet.
I gotta go it's time for Monday Night Football.
Enjoy
