Tesco, Finest The Trilogy Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina 2019

The Catena family is the royalty of Argentinian wine, and is behind this Tesco own-label Malbec produced from high-altitude vineyard sites in Mendoza. Fragrant on the nose, almost exotic, with bags of dark damson and blackberry fruit, cocoa smoothness and a twist of black pepper on the finish. Fresh and juicy, this has a good tannin structure but is approachable at the same time. Good value New World Malbec, and a real crowd-pleaser.
