2009 Achaval Ferrer Malbec

The purple-colored 2009 Malbec is sensational for an entry-level wine. It gives up an alluring nose of wood smoke, Asian spices, floral notes, black cherry, and black raspberry. Layered, smooth-textured, and plush, this is a mouth-coating effort that is ready to drink but that will continue to deliver satisfaction for another 6-8 years. Achaval Ferrer is now firmly established as one of Argentina’s benchmark producers. Importer: TGIC Imports, Woodland Hills, CA; tel. (818) 225-5100
