ConQuista Mendoza, Argentina 2021 Malbec, $8.49-$12.99, 88 points, poured an opaque rosewood red with a moderately broad meniscus and copious tinted legs.
Aromas of smokey fruit, hints of vanilla, chocolate, and dried cooking herbs were pleasant.
Like most Malbec red wines, this was full-bodied, soft with easy (early) tannins, showed flavors reflective of the aromas with hints of blueberry, a bit astringent green stem and citrus notes.
Finished very long, slightly spicy and metallic, and with a very comfortable 13% alcohol.
Paired well with my spice-rubbed rib eye.
