I'm in the supermarket looking for a good red (near a label-studying porn star and his friend, incidentally) when I spied this $17 bottle of American malbec. That's more than I ordinarily pay for malbec but I wanted to compare the California and Argentina versions. (We first developed an affection for malbec while vacationing in Buenos Aires.)
Malbec is a powerful, big-mouthed jammy wine, rather like shiraz, I think. Drinking malbec is like having Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski in bed.
My opinion of the Coppola malbec and my recommendation for an excellent (and only $11!) malbec after the jump.
