The Argentinian 2009 La Posta Del Vinatero Cocina Malbec from Mendoza scored 16+ points on the 20-point Dionysian scale ; almost a gold!
It has 13.5% alcohol and is filled with dark fruits, soft tannins and costing under $16, makes it a must buy!
Imported by Vine Connections of Sausalito, California, the wine can age 6 to 10 years, and then hold its peak another 5 to 9 years before declining. Cellar some. This is a well made easy drinking Malbec with a long smooth finish.
Malbec goes well with cheese steaks. The La Posta made it special.
Served with cheese steak, onions and Jersey tomatoes along side of Joanne’s grilled just-picked zucchini. The La Posta wine made a simple Thursday evening dinner into a special event meal. In vino veritas.
