Winemaker Notes
The Alamos 2010 Seleccion Malbec has a nose full of ripe black fruit and violet aromas with touches of black pepper and brown spice that are delivered by the oak on the palate. The mouthfeel is full yet supple, with ripe blackberry, black cherry and plum flavors. This wine has a full body with a deep, plush finish.

Wine Spectator
Rich and vinous, with ripe blackberry reduction, raspberry and dark plum notes backed by game and underbrush hints. Fine tannins and dark minerality emerges on the broad finish.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
