From $25 to $14.01! Malbec lovers, grab this by the case!

Those of you who are big fans of Malbec will flip for this right away! If you're new to Malbec or looking to explore for the first time, this is a tremendous opportunity to do so!

Known in France by names like Côt, Auxerrois and Pressac, you are probably more familiar with the common name of today's focus varietal: Malbec. While its history leads back to France, Malbec nowadays is a mainstay in South American wine production, specifically in Argentina where the varietal doesn't really resemble the wines made in Cahors or the outlying regions of Bordeaux where it's still grown.

The Argentinian Malbec strain that is so prolific today - which arrived, most likely through cuttings imported into neighboring Chile from Bordeaux - has adapted itself to the terrain of the Argentine landscape extremely well. When done right Malbec offers a softer, more fruit-forward profile than Cabernet Sauvignon does yet maintains a fine acidity on the back end as the varietal grows extremely well in higher, cooler altitudes. Not to mention, a tremendous value for red wine lovers.

Clocking in with a superb 90 Point score, the 2018 Uko Malbec Select Vineyard Reserva is a phenomenal display of this beautiful varietal. It offers a dense but extremely well-balanced profile full of dense fruit and really bright acidity on the back end.

This wine will definitely satisfy the Napa Cabernet lovers, as well as those seeking a "step up" from your everyday Malbec!

"Crushed-blackberry and licorice aromas follow through to a full-bodied, dense and layered palate with lots of new wood. A little old-school with the extract this year, making it slightly overdone. Should come together with time. Try after 2022." - 90 Points James Suckling
