Courtney Benham 2009 Reserve Malbec (Alexander Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Malbec California
Winery: Courtney Benham / Alexander Valley

What a great red wine, just about perfect for steak. It’s dry, full-bodied and tannic, with big, ripe blackberry and blueberry flavors. A little rustic, yes, but terrific for drinking now, and easily one of the best California Malbecs ever. And look at that price.
