mahl-BEHK | Malbec has characteristics that fall somewhere between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a deep color, ample tannin, and a distinct plum-like flavor component that adds complexity to claret blends. While Malbec is traditionally blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot in Bordeaux, it truly comes into its own in Argentina, where it is the major red varietal planted. Argentine wines are similar in flavor to those made in Europe, but with a softer, more approachable style. The resulting wine is dark purple and very fragrant, with ripe fruit and a soft structure that is sure to please any wine lover.
