($25, Stoli Group USA): Achaval Ferrer produces an easy-to-recommend Malbec and this Cabernet Sauvignon shows they are more than a one-horse show. Their Cabernet has the same energy and acidity of their Malbec, but, as a plus in my mind, more herbal savory notes — even a touch of green olive. All of this is wrapped in supporting tannins. In short, it has more going on. Another good choice for beef on the grill.
