Finca Sophenia Malbec, 2006
As trends in wines continue, so is the flow of great value wines from Mendoza. With the vineyards located at about 4000 feet in the Argentina Andes, the wines of Finca Sophenia are crafted under the direction of world renowned wine consultant Michel Rolland. This Malbec was aged in French oak barrels for about twelve months. The wine has a lovely deep red color with violet hues. On the nose are the aromas of black cherries, plums, coco and violets. This is a medium to full bodied wine with smooth tannins and only a hint of toasty oak. There is a 
wonderful elegance to the flavors, smoothness and complex lingering finish that make this wine truly delightful. We bought this wine at Seattle Wine Company, for about $10. At this price-point, the Finca Sophenia Malbec is our favorite Malbec of the moment! We enjoyed this lovely Malbec with a Grilled Flat-Iron Steak with Marjoram Crusted Potatoes and Chard.
