Solid Malbec from Argentina

Admittedly, I'm a bit of a 'sucker' for any wine that sports a high-90s Decanter Magazine award. So a multiple bottle purchase of the Finca Sophenia 2016 Reserve Malbec certainly seemed in order.

My first impressions were of a better balanced than is the norm Mendoza red, with a crisp underlying acidity bolstering the tannic backdrop beneath an overlay of ripe berry fruit, oak tones and just a smidgen of vegetal 'greeness' - quite Bordeaux-like, in fact.

Good as this wine drinks at present, a short resting period should see it smoothing out a tad and becoming even better!



At under CDN$20 per bottle, it represents a really good value. This is also a versatile wine, which should pair well with anything from pasta dishes and pizza to grilled meats.
