"Malbec is one of the minor classic Bordeaux grapes used to in traditional blends. It is a very distinct grape, somewhat lying with the structure of the cabernet sauvignon grape with the fruitiness of merlot. It is easily seen why one uses it as part of the master blend as it imparts in the wine a deep tannic colour and hints of plum. While being part of a master blend in much of France, in South America were stands alone as its own varietal, creating masterful wines of power and elegance with amazing price points". |
