winemaker's notes:

The 2006 Alamos Malbec presents a deep, opaque violet color with purple hues. The nose is intense and complex, with ripe black fruits, sweet spice and a touch of violets. The mouthfeel is sweet and supple, with black cherry and cassis flavors mingled with spicy black pepper and a touch of leather. The finish is long and persistent with soft, sweet tannins.

  Alamos a pleasant surprise for such a young wine - 1/27/2008
I would buy this wine again
My current stint in South America has forced me to indulge in some young, but tasty South American wines. From Peru, to Chile, to Colombia you will find greater consistency with Argentine wines. Alamos amongst them. When given some time to breath both the Malbec and the Cabernet prove to be richly flavored treats to the palate.

  3.75 stars- very nice - 11/27/2007
I would buy this wine again
I had this pork scalopinni and mushrooms (basically a marsalla sauce) and it was a great match with the rich sauce.

  Not bad, but not outstanding - 11/26/2007
I would not buy this wine again
This is a good wine to go with a steak, but does not stand up to the drinkability of some other lower end malbecs. That said, I am certainly glad I had it, and I would suggest trying it to see if it's to your liking.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
