"...In our tasting, we found that most Malbecs retain their distinctive, meaty tastes. We described them as "interesting wines, with spicy, black-pepper tastes, some blackberries, good acidity and crisp edges. The good ones taste like ripe fruit and earth, maybe with some sage or rosemary. Excellent with beef and grilled vegetables..."What worries me is this:
"...More bottles than we would have guessed tasted like bulk wines, without enough character, so it's time to raise a little bit of a yellow flag."Malbec is one the hottest wines around. No question about it. But consumers need to be careful and do some research before buying a bottle. Or go with a trusted producer. Some of the negociants, importers and argentine producers are just chasing a quick buck and you can get cheated. Be careful and read the labels. Just because the words Mendoza, Argentina or Malbec appeared on the bottle, it is not a good enough reason to buy the wine.
