San Rafael, General Alvear, Southern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaLos Primos Malbec comes off sandy soil at some 750 metres above sea level. The nose and palate ripen with sweet-smelling black cherries and blueberry that spills across the palate. It has a candied fruit demeanour upfront, but it has all the underpinnings of malbec. It is a bit skinny for the overall alcohol, but it settles in just fine when served with barbecue ribs — a rare bargain at $12.99.Tasted: 23 February 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 12.99 BCLS

San Rafael, General Alvear, Southern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaFrom the sandy soils of San Rafael, at 750m, this ripe, sweeter malbec shows candied blackberry, cherry, and pomegranate notes, with a confected blueberry note to the shorter finish. Tannins are pasty, and acidity is moderate, letting the alcohol show a bit. Chill and crack now.Tasted: 23 February 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 12.99 BCLS
