****1/2 drink now Exceptional Value!
Alamos ‘Selección’ Malbec 2013
Uco Valley, Mendoza $16.95 (322800) 14.5% alcohol
Smoky, tarry, black cherry/berry aromas abound on the nose of this generous Mendoza malbec. A rich, ripe flow of dark briary berry, mocha and grilled herbs coat the palate persisting through the lingering, balanced aftertaste. This is medium-plus bodied with generous mouthfeel and soft tannin underpinning. The price-quality balance make this a compelling buy. (Vic Harradine)

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a great Malbec at a very reasonable price. It is fruity and smooth with fairly refined tannins. Medium to full bodied with medium finish. Great choice for sturdy stews or short ribs.

Carola Price rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Opaque and deep red to core.Nose of plum and black cherry, some pepper. A bit too astringent in the mouth but should develop fruit over time. Some spice, chocolate and blackberry flavours. Pair with steak and Chimmichurri. The bold garlic flavours will carry through with the alcohol.
Drink 1 to 3 years

Colin McKone rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Dark purple in colour with cooked strawberries, cherries, plum, smoke and black pepper. It is full bodied, with medium tannins and medium acidity with cooked fruit and black cherry flavours on the finish. Will pair great with grilled red meats and strong cheeses.

Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A lovely Malbec! Medium bright ruby with rim. Soft, integrated tannins and crisp acidity. Full bodied yet velvety mouthfeel. Layered flavours of blackberry, pepper, smoke, leather, with soft ripe sour cherry finish.

Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Peppery, dark fruited Malbec, with a dense, full bodied structure. Simple and short, with a slightly sweet, woody finish.

Natalie's Review

Alamos Seleccion Malbec 2013, Mendoza, Argentina: A robust red with great depth and complexity at an excellent price point. Syrah add so much character to this blend with fleshy blackberries and cherries. It's full-bodied, balanced and smooth. Perfect for grilled meats and hard cheeses. Highly recommended.
