2004 Bodega Mendel, Malbec, Mendoza (Argentina)

SKU #1026119

91 points from Wine and Spirits Magazine! They say, "Crafted by Roberto de la Mota, the former winemaker at Terrazas de los Andes, this Malbec feels made for winter nights by the fireplace. It's chocolatey and full of dark cherry flavor, its firm structure needing time in the bottle or something meaty like lamb roasted with rosemary. 6/2007" 90 points Wine Spectator: "Packed with layers of crushed plum and boysenberry fruit, with exotic spice notes, this richly textured wine is carried by fresh acidity to the long, dark finish."

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Malbec

- Red grape variety originally made popular in Bordeaux, where it is still found in some blends. This grape has declined in popularity in many regions because of its susceptibility to downy mildew, rot and frost bite. It seems to have found a good home in the drier Argentina and Chile. It can also be found in some California Meritage and a blending agent. Here is a list of our bestselling Malbec.
Country:

Argentina

- Argentina is regarded as one of the most dynamic wine-producing nations in the world, and possibly the most important wine-producing region in South America. Only four countries in the world produce more wine than Argentina. Considerable investments (much of which has come from famous French, Italian and California wine producers) have been made in new vineyards and winemaking technology in the past several years, which along with recent plantings of more premium varieties of grapes, has made Argentina much more competitive internationally. The Mendoza region is the most important region in Argentina's wine industry. And Malbec, among other Bordeaux varietals grown here, reigns supreme.
