Back to being way behind on posts. Well, not too behind since its been a fairly slow wine week again. Last Sunday night we didn't really cook up anything special and were still working through two open bottles that were already reviewed. By the time Monday rolled around I was actually cooked out and decided just to pick up a couple of strips at Texas Roadhouse. To go with the strips Pris pulled out a 2009 Argentinean Reserva Malbec from Finca El Origen.The wine was mellow, but at the same time full on the palate. It was a great combination for a bolder red wine. The nose was full of cherries, blackberries, and cassis. On the palate, this full flavored Malbec was rich with heavy dark fruits. Forceful tannins round out the wine and provide a full strong finish that has a nice bite at the end.
The 2009 Finca El Origen Reserva Malbec is a great little 91 point wine to pull out when you're having steak, empanada's, or any other beef-centric dish. I've said it before, the Argentinean people know their beef and wine to go with the beef and the Finca Reserva Malbec is no exception.
We picked up the 2009 Finca El Origen Reserva Malbec at HEB for 9.99. At this price its also a great everyday wine. While it goes best with beef, the fact that its so mellow will allow you to drink it easily on it own or with some lighter fare.
