Benchmark Wines Criterion Collection Reserva Mendoza Malbec

$14.99

Argentina’s Mendoza region has gained international acclaim for its fruit-forward malbecs. The Andes’ sunny dry conditions contribute to full-bodied malbecs with ripe tannins and a plush texture. Criterion collection offers a quintessential Argentine malbec. It’s bold, rich and silky with ripe berry, black pepper and licorice aromas and blackberry, cherry and cardamom flavors. Pair it with grilled meats and roasted vegetables.

Bold and rich with smooth tannins. It's a little too jammy for me but has really nice flavor

Would not drink again. Did not enjoy. Even aerating it did not help.

Very drinkable, while cooking and with grilled steak. Lynnfield Whole Foods. Definitely would get again, perfect summer wine.

This is now one of my favorites from Argentina. It's on sale at Whole Foods and I recommend it. I think it's around $12.00 but easily competes with varieties in the $30.00 range. It is bold, but smooth!
