Huarpe Lancatay Malbec 2010
Winery: "Color - deep violet red. Aromas - red fruits and toasted nuts brought out from the aging. Flavor - persistent firm sweet tannins, softness and roundness."
Wired For Wine: Vamos, winelovers! You are not going to want to miss out on this killer deal of one astonishing Argentinian! The Huarpe Lancatay Malbec will offer you countless options if you're in the mood for meaty foods from the grill, stove or oven. The rich fruit in this deep violet red makes it a fantastic partner to your favorite barbecue sauce too. Open your first bottle and whet everyone's appetite with a trio of chorizo: Argentine pork sausage, blood sausage, and red Spanish chorizo. Ever made a pizza on the grill? We have and the smokey result in the flavor of the crust is made for the toast nuances of this Huarpe. Top it with roasted onions and strips of sweet, tangy baby back ribs. ¿Quién necesita la cena? The lovely spice in this Lancatay will shine with Castilla De Res, braised short ribs with boniato (white sweet potato) puree and a zippy red pepper sauce. We also love it with an Argentine Criolla or beef stew with vegetables and fruits. Sounds unusual, but the combination of flavors comes together in perfect harmony for the depth and complexity of this Mendoza Malbec. Last, but most certainly not least, you might want to pay homage to the beautiful, sweet tannins in this Argentine red with grilled steak topped with grilled scallions. To add the wow factor, have some crispy polenta fries on the side drizzled with a blue cheese sauce. Va a ser una locura deliciosa! Bring the meal to a close with a freshly opened bottle and an aged Cashel blue cheese with a few drops of lavender honey on top. Huarpe diem winelovers...
