Universo De Los Andes (Reserva) - Malbec 2008


White or Red: Red

Grapes: Malbec

Origin: Argentina (Mendoza)

Vintage: 2008

Price: $11.99

Overall: Wow. Another Malbec. Super tasty. I held my hands up and started moving them like the conductor of the New York Philharmonic after finishing my second glass. I don’t know why I did that, but for your purposes, that means it’s good.

Deeper: Why does one prefer bed sheets with a high thread count? Why does one prefer Lindt chocolate over a Krackel? Smoothness, softness, and uniformity of texture my friends. This wine has all of those traits to the 10th power! Should be more than 12 bucks. Go get it. Be careful though, this red could turn any normal working professional into your everyday corner wino bum.

  1. I don't like Malbec. But that is because I have no class. I also like Nestle Crunch bars. LOL!
