Malbec is a full-bodied red wine that originated in France but is now most famous as an Argentine wine. It's known for its dark, inky color and robust tannins. Malbec wines typically have strong flavors of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, accompanied by smoky, dark spice notes. They often have a velvety texture and a finish that can be a bit tart with flavors of licorice and black pepper. It typically has a medium to high acidity. Malbec pairs well with red meat and grilled foods. Because of its bold flavors, it can also stand up to spicy and heavily seasoned dishes. Malbec wines are often enjoyed young, but they can also benefit from aging.
