($20, Vine Connections):  Argentina does produce red wine without using Malbec.  And good ones at that.  Here one of them.  A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) and equal amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this young and vigorous wine is filled with spice and black fruit flavors.   It’s a good choice with hearty fare as the temperature drops. 88 Michael Apstein Nov 15, 2011
