Alamos Tasting Notes
Malbec is the "signature wines of the Mendoza region, representing the greatest achievements of Argentine winemaking, and Alamos Seleccion Malbec is the pinnacle of Alamos winemaking. The nose is full of ripe black fruits with floral tones and touches of leather, vanilla, and spice. The mouthfeel is full yet supple, with juicy black raspberry, black cherry and black currant fruit flavors layered with notes of violets, black pepper and anise. The finish is long and lingering, with soft, velvety tannins and bright, refreshing acidity.

Wine Advocate
The 2009 Malbec Seleccion spent 9-12 months in French and American oak. It offers up a pleasing bouquet of spice box, incense, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. This is followed by a medium-bodied, savory, sweetly-fruited wine with good balance and a pure finish. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. 87 points

Wine Enthusiast
"Full berry aromas are accented by notes of cumin, cola and grilled meat. This feels full-bodied but not overly heavy, with a mellow berry flavor and dark notes of chocolate and meat. The finish is smooth and oaky, with a touch of graphite." 88 points
