The wines range in styles, but the principal characteristics of Malbec are mocha and spicy vanilla aromatics giving way to dark black cherry, black berry and black raspberry. For the most part the wines are quite expressive without being too "big," as in too much alcohol. Most of the bottlings are medium bodied, in the 13 percent alcohol content range. This translates to being a good companion to food.
Ana what about the price range...
There are plenty of solidly made Malbecs in the $10 to $15 price point. When you are looking for something a little special, your dollar goes a long way in Argentina. The midrange offerings are "Killer!" Be choosy, there are a couple of large grocery-sized producers in Argentina.

Forget Beaujolois, and try a Malbec...
