A glass of Malbec wine from Argentina (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I really like a good Malbec and that is why I was pleased with La Posta Malbec Paulucci Mendoza 2008. First I noticed the opaque purple color, then the firm structure that balanced the lush core of succulent fruits like blueberry, fig, raspberry and black cherry. The finish was spice tinged with a feel of slightly dry tannins. Another thing that I really liked was that this wine spent 12 months aging in 20% new french oak barrels. Final facts IWC/89, WS/88, WA/88, $16.99 with PA L.C.B. product code 16970.

I too was very impressed with my very first Malbec, also from Argentina. I will make a note to be on the lookout for this Malbec you reviewed. It sounds great. Have a great day! 🙂

I agree with your wife that a good Malbec is hard to beat, especially when it is paired with the smokey flavor of grilled beef this time of year. Cheers and Thanks for your feedback.

It has something powerful and unruly about it, and at the same time can be incredibly pleasing. It is characteristics I like not only in wine…:)
