Eight South American Reds for $25 or Less
Argentinean Malbecs offer appealing fruit flavors at attractive prices


For many years the South American spotlight was on the value-priced wines of Chile. But after extensive investment in winemaking technology throughout the 1990s, the wines of Argentina are coming into their own. The star varietal is an unlikely candidate: Malbec. This red wine grape is native to southwestern France but has found a home in Argentina, particularly in the Mendoza region. Medium- to full-bodied and fruit-forward, these wines display an array of berry flavors. The oak treatment that they typically receive smooths out the edges and integrates spice and smoke notes.
