Wine & Spirits:  Rated as Exceptional examples of their type. "Would you ever consider serving Malbec chilled...with a seafood gratin? If so, choose this one for its freshness, its light, smooth texture and fine acidity. A portion of this wine is made with carbonic maceration (as in Beaujolais), which explains the juiciness of the fruit." Feb 2012 (Advance)

Winery:  "Sourced from a single vineyard, the grapes for this wine were bunch selected and hand harvested. The wine displays aroma of ripe plum and violets along with subtle hints of vanilla. Of great structure, this wine stands out for its meatiness and intense rich flavor while a soft silky finish balances the overall experience. Drink with grilled meat or salmon, or alone in your room with the door locked... you are the boss!"

Wired For Wine:  We're in the mood for killer value Malbec, so we've chosen this Cigar Box Mendoza Reserve Malbec.  For heaven's sake, don't sit alone in a locked room while you enjoy it...  Pour your first smooth glasses and savor them with grilled steak and chimichurri toasts. Talk about delicious.  This Reserve Malbec's intense flavor, beautiful structure, and notes of lush plum, violets and just-a-touch-of vanilla make it fantastic with grilled, roasted and stewed meats, pizza and more.  Our first choice with the floral and fruit side of this Argentine red is white pepper-roasted duck breasts with grilled plums.  Siga siendo mi corazón. You can't go wrong with roasted rack of lamb with malagueta peppers and an herb/flour crust.  Grilled salmon with black beans and piment d'esplette mayonnaise is another great choice.  What are you hungry for?  At this price, make sure you have extras on hand. You'll need at least one more bottle to go with the smooth, aromatic Spanish Iberico cheese you serve when the table has been cleared. ¡Disfrute de su comida, winelovers!
