James Laube (
Wine Spectator) finds an Alamos Malbec 2008 in an Italian Restaurant near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and he really enjoys it:
"...The list had about 50 wines, with the selection anchored by some nice Argentine reds. I opted for the recently released Alamos Malbec 2008, from the Luján de Cuyo area of Mendoza, for 365 pesos, or about $33; Wine Spectator has reviewed previous vintages of Alamos wines, owned by the Catena family, quite favorably. The Malbec added just the right touch of richness, spice and complexity to give the dinner another dimension. I rated it 90 points, non-blind, and drank another glass the next day for lunch with a slice of leftover lasgana. It held up nicely..."
Catena's Alamos is a consistent performer in every vintage. Whether you tried their Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bonarda or even the Pinot Noir, you'll never be dissappointed. Very good value, indeed!
