This is a malbec like you have never seen before, the 2011 Atrevida Malbec is way more vivid and demonstrative than what is seen in the international marketplace; intoxicating aromas of black fruits and tar; some forest-floor nuances add to the wine's allure; finishes with a minerally bite that goes on forever. (Tasted: March 3, 2013, San Francisco, CA)
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.
