MALBEC

Bold, plush and endlessly food-friendly, Malbec is the red that made Argentina a wine superpower — and it's one of the easiest reds to love. Born in Cahors in southwest France but perfected in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, Malbec delivers deep purple color, juicy dark fruit and a velvety texture that goes down far too easily. Our Malbec collection gathers approachable everyday bottlings and more serious reserve wines so you can find your style whether you're grilling steaks, filling a weeknight glass or trading up for a special dinner.

For an easy everyday pour, Alamos Malbec ($14.99) is a Mendoza benchmark — ripe plum, blackberry and a touch of mocha at a friendly price — while 1919 Malbec Finca Lopez ($10.99) and Agua De Piedra Malbec Gran Reserva ($10.99) both over-deliver for the money with smooth, fruit-forward character. Looking for something a little different? Adelante Malbec ($14.09) is a crowd-pleasing, softly structured red that's perfect for a casual dinner party.

When you want to trade up, reach for a reserve-level bottling with more oak and concentration. Alma De Los Andes Malbec ($15.99) brings darker fruit and a velvety, high-altitude depth, and Alamos Malbec Seleccion ($19.99) is a step up from the classic Alamos with added structure, spice and length — a lovely bottle for a steak night or a gift.

Not sure which Malbec to pick? It comes down to how you'll drink it. Everyday Malbec is juicy, soft and immediately pleasurable — perfect for a Tuesday pizza or a burger off the grill, served with a very slight chill in summer. Reserve and Gran Reserva Malbec is more structured and oak-aged, with firmer tannins and darker fruit that reward a decant and a hearty meal. And whatever the tier, Malbec is Argentina's answer to a steakhouse red: its ripe fruit and gentle tannins make it a natural with grilled beef, lamb, empanadas, aged cheeses and anything off the barbecue.

Serve Malbec at a cool room temperature, around 62–65°F, to keep the fruit lively and the finish smooth. A short decant helps the reserve bottlings open up, but the everyday styles are ready to pour the moment you uncork them.
