Winemaker's notes:The Alamos Malbec has 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 interwoven with a touch of chocolate and sweet spice from light oak aging. The finish shows ripe, silky tannins.

My Notes: My first Malbec and I have to say it was so delicious. It tasted to me like one of those dark chocolate cherry chocolates you get on valentines day. It was the right amount of sweet to richness and the flavors became eminent immediately. I would love to pair this with some good chocolate. Must go back and try that! 

“One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.”
