2000 Trapiche Malbec

[zenda2]

Agreed, stick with Trapiche's cheaper 'regular' malbec and avoid the oak splinters.

FWIW, Trapiche also makes a malbec/merlot blend under their second label -- Falling Star. It's hard to beat for the $5 price. Imported by Wildman, a very nice 'quaff' and worth keeping on hand in case you want a red wine but you have friends who dislike tannins. It's very, very smooth. Maybe not too exciting, and it's not complex. Just a tasty drop at a very nice price that goes well with food. That's not such a bad thing.

Trying to find our tasting notes on other Malbec wines is kinda tough around here. We don't really have a South American forum, so our notes on Argentinian Malbec and other S. American wines are scattered here, there, everywhere. Try searching thru the "Wines without a category" section.
