By type

What Malbec tastes like

Blackberry, plum and black cherry with violet, cocoa and a smoky edge, wrapped in velvety tannin. Grown at altitude in Mendoza, Malbec keeps its color and freshness while ripening fully, which is why the wines are both dark and easy to drink. Bottles from Cahors in France are firmer and earthier.

Pairing Malbec

Steak, first and always — the Argentine pairing is skirt steak with chimichurri. Also lamb, sausages, barbecue and blue cheese. Serve at 60–65°F.

Frequently asked questions

Is Malbec dry?
Yes. Malbec is a dry, full-bodied red; its ripe fruit is what makes it feel smooth.
Is Malbec similar to Cabernet Sauvignon?
Both are full-bodied and dark-fruited. Malbec is softer, plummier and rounder; Cabernet has firmer tannin and more herbal, cedar notes.
