Inexpensive Malbecs

In only one sentence international wine blogger Benito pretty much summarizes why so many people love Malbec wines: 

I love inexpensive Malbecs for their bold flavors and easy pairing. 

Here I enjoyed the wine with a vegetarian pizza, but it would work well with BBQ, steak, lamb. The 2007 Rio Seco Malbec is from Mendoza, Argentina. $12, 13% abv. Black cherry, full plummy flavors with a big mouthfeel, medium tannins, long finish. This is a great table wine, and I'm glad that we're getting better and better access to inexpensive but decent selections.
