5 Malbecs in Wine Spectator's 100 List for 2008

The long awaited Wine Spectator's 100 list for 2008 is finally out and 5 Malbecs made it.

No. 38 92pts $25 Bodega Colomé Malbec Calchaquí Valley 2006 (Salta, Northern Argentina)
N0. 64 96pts $112 Achával-Ferrer Malbec Mendoza Finca Altamira 2006
No. 53 90pts $18 François Pelissié Cahors Croix du Mayne 2005 (Southwest France)
No. 66 92pts $30 Altocedro Malbec La Consulta Reserva 2006 (Mendoza)
No. 82 93pts $35 Luca Malbec Uco Valley 2007 (Mendoza)

I was surprised not to see a Catena made the list, despite the wonderful 2005 vintage, and to see a malbec from Cahors, France the only place outside Argentina where Malbec really shines.
