La Finca 2008 Malbec
I've long been a fan of Malbec - it's fruitiness is softened by delicate tannins. I don't know how wine makers pull this off. La FInca is an expensive - about $5 a bottle - choice when you're looking for something lighter than a Cab or Zin that can still stand up to beef and thick tomato sauces. I served this last night with a garlicky Picanha roast - getting all my South American cuisine in for the week - and the wine was light yet robust enough to drink well with such big flavors.
Another delicious and renowned Malbec is Bodega Norton. I happened to like the La FInca better; it's more delicate and the tannins more subtle. Whichever you choose, pour a good-size glass. This grape varietal is easy to drink.
