Paid: $15.99

I just did a double take on what I spent for this wine.  I normally don’t exceed $15 bucks.  Sad to say, I got ripped off.   This wine isn’t worth the $15.99 that I paid for a “Select” Malbec.  I’ve tasted better non-select  Malbecs for under $12 bucks.  This Malbec was light on the delicious, dark, red grape that I’ve enjoyed as an alternative to overpriced Merlots and Cabernet Sauvignons.  There’s not much on the finish either.  It’s rather light on the tongue and shorter than a pair of Daisy Dukes.

In terms of a price to quality ratio, this Malbec is a 1 Star in my opinion.  As far as taste goes, it’s a 2 Star.  Since we rate’m on taste, the Alamos Malbec Seleccion is awarded a 2 Star rating.

If you really want to try a great wine from Alamos, you should pick up a bottle of their Torrontes white wine.  Now that one is pretty darn good.
