Alamos Malbec 2018

Alamos' flagship wine, the rich and flavorful Argentinian Malbec thrives in Mendoza’s Uco Valley, where their unique growing conditions give this Malbec incredibly concentrated fruit flavors of plum and blackberry.

The best-selling Argentinean Malbec in the US showed pretty well in the 2018 vintage, when the 2018 Malbec came through as a textbook varietal example with aromas of violets and wild berries and herbs with just a spicy twist. It has a gentle palate with the telltale round tannins from the grape, nice texture, focused and clean flavors and a dry and serious finish. I think this goes back to the freshness of vintages like 2013. Believe it or not, they produce some nine-million bottles of this wine.

A brambly array of blackberries and red plums, leading to a soft, easy and fine palate that has impressive focus.
