A $8 daily drinker from Aldi, the Exquisite Collection Malbec.
Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina.
The Exquisite Collection Malbec is available exclusively at Aldi and sells for just $7.99. It is imported by Mack & Schuhle Inc.
Located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains you will find Argentina's high-altitude wine region of Mendoza. A place where the climate and geography create perfect conditions for its best known varietal, Malbec. A full-bodied dry wine with notes of black cherry and plum, this Malbec has a long spicy finish. It pairs well with barbecued red meat, ribs, mild cheeses and is best served at room temperature.
Produced and Bottled by Fecovita Coop.
12.5% Alcohol
We absolutely loved the 2018 vintage of this wine, unfortunately the 2019 is not quite up to the same level (and $1 more). It is still recommended at such a low price and everything tastes pretty similar it is just kind of watered down a bit.
The 2019 Exquisite Collection Malbec begins with a pleasing but muted aroma of blackberry, plum, mint and a little cedar. Tasting the medium to full-bodied wine reveals lots of fruit, good spice and good structure but it's a bit rough in the mouth with this vintage and overall lacks the depth of flavor of the 2018.
Mostly dry but with a touch of sweetness, this is a good but not great buy at only $8. It ends with a medium long finish of tart fruit and touches of oaky spice.
