Bodega Elena de Mendoza, Mendoza (Argentina) Malbec 2010

($11, Wine Brokers Unlimited):  Malbec is all the rage these days.  Most, especially at this price, are just overdone big red wines.  This one, in contrast, with a stated alcohol of 13.8%, is certainly fruity and bold, but not over the top and actually has complexity with layers of flavors.  Supple tannins make it easy to enjoy now with a steak.  An excellent buy. 87 Michael Apstein Nov 8, 2011
