Flight of the Condor Malbec 2019

Mendoza, ArgentinaThe Flight of the Condor is a modern style malbec, which means clean, ripe, and soft, with baking spice notes. It's a wine you can drink immediately and a fine accompaniment to spicy beef dishes from tacos to flank steak. This wine has a connection with the famed malbec producer Decero. It hails from 2019, a vintage many are already suggesting is an outstanding one. At $20, it is worth a look and would be a fine barbecue companion.Tasted: 24 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Mendoza, Argentina'Malbec from Mendoza' is about as specific as this malbec goes, which is about as far as it goes in the glass as well. Cedar lined blackberry, black cherry is framed by blocky tannins, and finishes with a roasted coffee / kirsch note on the warming finish. This rustic red requires grilled veg or beef to partner.Tasted: 24 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Flight of the Condor Malbec 2019

Mendoza, ArgentinaThis is an approachable, jammy malbec with smoky, charred oak. It's correct, but rather foursquare as a result. At the very least, the name of the wine will inspire you to go back and listen to Flight of the Concords. Crack the screwcap today and pair with burgers and old episodes.Tasted: 24 February 2021Tasted by: Prices:
