Finca Los Primos 2011 Malbec #WineWednesday

So, I totally forgot to blog about my Wine Wednesday wine, but last night’s choice of wine was courtesy of Finca Los Primos. I know my dear friend Erin Dermer is a lover of Malbec, and sometimes I’m a bit afraid of sampling Malbecs WITHOUT her. But last night at the Pacific Rim Magazine launch, she wasn’t there, so I had to go for it on my own. So Erin, I hope you like my choice of wine for Wine Wednesday (one day late!). You can acquire Finca Los Primos 2011 Malbec at the BC Liquor Stores.

It retails at a very, very inexpensive $12.00. At 14% alcohol and a rich, velvety, flavourful, rich and complex, deep texture, I loved the Finca Los Primos Malbec, moreover because it’s a wine from Argentina. It’s not kosher nor organic, and has a 00 sweetness, but who cares. I loved it paired with the vegetarian canapés we were served at the Pacific Rim Magazine launch. And from what I tasted, this Malbec is great on its own and also great to pair with something with bacon (everything is better with bacon, to be quite honest!)

This best seller has a spicy, jammy and cassis scented nose with floral and savoury hints. The palate is smoothly textured and round with peppercorns black olives, smoke, vanilla bean, and chocolate flavours. Break out the all beef patties for this friendly and affordable red.

Overall, I loved the Finca Los Primos Malbec, and I’m sure when Erin reads this review she might want to recommend other Malbec’s to try.
