Ambas Malbec (Argentina, 2008)

Category: Malbec — Eddie @ 5:56 pm

	This is an Argentinian Malbec that is another one coming out at Fresh & Easy. We have reviewed the 2007 before and liked it so we were looking forward to trying this year out. This wine won the silver medal in Jerry Meads’s New World International Wine Competition.
	$7 from Fresh & Easy

Aromas were complex, interesting, and inviting. Scents of ripe juicy blackberry with a slight undertone of spearmint. Fairly dry but balanced quite well with flavors of fruit. Concentrated and deep and the blackberry aromas continue in the tastes. Medium to long finish that is very pleasant. Much smother in the mouth than the 2007. Great tannins and an excellent value for this price-point. Flavorful and interesting and at such an affordable price. This wine is like walking into a store and finding a 50 dollar bill on the way in. You go in and use that bill and feel so good because it feels like such a bargain. Justagrape.com was provided a complementary bottle of this wine directly from Fresh & Easy and was not compensated for this review.

Wow! what a find. I was practically gulping this wine, something I have never done. Such a nicely balanced red, great legs for a relatively young wine. It’s like a high quality pinot. Fresh & Easy has it for $4.99 now, but don’t look for any bottles at the Point Loma store. I bought them all.
