Natalie's Score: 85/100

Vintages Wine Panel: Argento’s Reserva Malbec offers unbelievable value. The purple-coloured 2008 features ripe raspberry, black cherry and sandalwood aromas, leading to a medium full body featuring more ripe berry fruit flavours and hints of cocoa, supported by mild tannins. Toasty oak notes are prominent on the medium-long finish. My note: Simple and full-bodied with black fruit.

Malbec food pairings: Kobe beef sliders, lamb samosas.

Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Malbec has really found its home in Argentina, and here's a Malbec that is very good value for the money. Black Cherries, spice and vanilla notes make for an easy to drink food friendly wine. One of my instructors as I was taking the Sommelier course called this 'a great Tuesday night' wine. Guilt free any night of the week.
Mark Britton rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

This is one of the more basic Malbecs that the LCBO carries. Very fruit forward with little tannin and structure. But a very easy drinking wine which can be a sipper for any occasion as it doesn't require food as a pairing.
