Tasting Notes: Alamos Malbec presents a dark purple color with violet highlights. The nose offers bright black cherry aromas with light floral notes and a touch of toast. The mouthfeel is full and rich, with ripe, concentrated cassis and black raspberry fruit flavors interwoven with a touch of chocolate and sweet spice from light oak aging. The finish is long and lingering, with ripe, velvety tannins.



Kab’s Comments: Great wine. One of the best Malbec I have tasted yet. Great deal at large wine store. Only $8.99. Cost at restaurant was almost $30. Great with pasta or just cheeze and crackers. I believe the year on this was 2005 or 2006. Everyone to try it loves it. Bought at Lucas Licour. St. Louis, MO.

This Malbec is Charming, clean, soft, ripe bing cherry, vanilla, with typical Argentina dusty sage nose. Medium-full bodied, quite plush; soft tannin and some heat. Good length. Could be aged till around 2011 or so.
