Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec 2004
Malbec
from Argentina, South America
winemaker's notes:
Number 15 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!
Color: intense red with blue shades.
Aroma: powerful and complex. Notes of red fruit can be perceived such as raspberry, red currant and sweet plum. Further hints of vanilla and caramel, stemming from its ageing in oak barrels, add a new level of complexity to this already full and exciting aroma.
Taste: a wine with a magnificent structure that offers a sensational mouth-feel and an intensely rich flavour. Its beautifully integrated tannins make it lively and strong. Its finish is smooth and perfectly harmonious.
Consumption suggestions: a perfect accompaniment to barbecued meats, game meats and pasta dishes. It can be drunk now or laid down for up to 10 years.

lovely flavorful wine. if you want to explore away from the typical reds such as cabs, merlots, or meritages, try this wine. it has the body of a cab with a "fruiter" flavor. in no way should you consider this an "other" wine; terrazas' malbec grape is truely unique in a class in itself.
buy one or buy a case, it's that good, especially for ~$15.
A Customer - Vienna, Austria
It's amazing wine, I finally find a good MALBEC and the price is good, so I recommend to keep a little bit in the cellar if you can, but for me I can't.
A Customer - Houston, previously London
Had this wine at Gaucho Grill in London, 2 separate locations, various times. This wine stands out as a beacon of great wines. It's body envelops the and draws one close to it. It is like a warm blanket on a cold night.
