Signature Malbec

2009 Mendoza Malbec

The Kirkland Signature Signature Malbec from the renowned Mendoza region is a splendid expression of what this varietal can offer. Characterized by its deep red hue, this wine showcases a full-bodied profile that resonates beautifully on the palate. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing lift that balances the luscious fruit notes. Expect prominent flavors of dark berries, plum, and hints of chocolate, which create a harmonious interlude on the tongue. The tannins are substantial yet well-integrated, contributing to a smooth finish that invites you to savor each sip. With its overall dry character, this Malbec pairs wonderfully with grilled meats and rich pasta dishes, making it a delightful choice for any wine lover.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
