Aleph Malbec Mendoza 2004

Malbec is a grape that’s getting some good buzz these days. Once an important blending grape in Bordeaux, Malbec had all but vanished from the wine scene until Argentina got hold of it in the last couple of decades. These days, Argentina’s Malbecs are making a run for best bargain reds - with their lush blueberry and blackberry fruit, chocolatey accents, and supple tannins.
