Our newest feature series, Our Wine Choice, focuses on the one wine our tasters thought most stood out during the past week's worth of tastings. It won’t necessarily be the highest-rated wine, but one notable for its uniqueness, taste, style, drinkability and affordability, among other factors. Each week, one of the JamesSuckling.com tasting team will pick his or her favorite.
Malbec might not strike you for its finesse and drinkability, but over the last few years leading producers in Argentina have reimagined the varietal and brought out fresher versions with unique identities that reflect place and local landscapes. Many of these are much spicier and peppery offerings with wild herbal character from some of the most extreme, elevated areas.
