player ready...Wine-lovers are beginning to perk up when they hear the words “Argentina” and “malbec” linked. To understand why, try Alamos Ridge Malbec from Argentina’s Mendoza region.
Produced by the quality-conscious firm of Nicolas Catena, this $12 wine provides a star turn for a grape that plays only a minor role in the classic five-grape blends of Bordeaux, which are dominated by cabernet sauvignon and merlot.
There is cabernet in this Alamos Ridge, but only 22 percent. It’s the malbec that contributes the rich violet color and ripe plum and cherry flavors.
Blessed with remarkably soft tannins, the wine delivers a delicious mouthful despite its youth. Serve with grilled or broiled red meat, or dishes flavored with Thai or Indian seasonings.
