La Posta Malbec, 2008, Mendoza, Argentina, 13.9% abv

A delicious wine from the Pizzella Family Vineyard, available at vintages for $15.00.

We both had the same reaction to this wine; big but creamy. It was really rounded, not astringent and I suppose the mouthfeel was therefore really sublime. While it was not sensational in any one particular way, it was a bit like a Snow Patrol CD we listen to on occasion, big, full, powerful but mellow. Well crafted and straight-up but not the least bit rustic. If it were food, it would be Shreddies with brown sugar. After a 20 year hiatus.

Try to get some if you can.
