Pannunzio Malbec 2007- Best wine under $10?
22 Jun
Mendoza Malbec has been really hyped in recent years because it’s a somewhat familiar wine to Napa Cabernet or Bordeaux fans and often comes at a much lower price. As values for domestic Cabernet get harder and harder to find, Argentine Malbec is a great alternative, and the 2007 Pannunzio Malbec is absolutely incredible for the price.
This wine pours an exceptionally deep purple and has fantastic aromas that jump out of the glass. It tastes thick and rich, in typical Malbec style, but avoids the syrupy sweet taste that some Malbec displays. The texture is really the highlight of this wine. I can’t believe they can make wine like this for under $10. I recently drank one of Paul Hobbs’ single vineyard Malbecs and was blown away, but this is 90% as good for 15% of the price!
There are no ratings on this wine so you’ll have to trust me when I say that this could be the best red wine I’ve ever had under the $10 mark. It’s my understanding that the 2007 vintage is almost sold out, so buy this one while you can! As far as I can tell, LA Wine Co. is the only retailer in the U.S. carrying it.
