We saved the best for last, as the Clos d'Argentine Grand Reserve Malbec is our top Wine of the Month for 2024! Rated 91 points by Wine Enthusiast at $68 a bottle, we quickly negotiated a deal with the importer to buy thousands of cases to drop the price to $12.99 a bottle. Sourced from estate vineyards in Lujan de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, these two sub-regions within Mendoza offer a perfect growing climate of warm days and cool nights. This phenomenon allows the grapes to achieve excellent fruit and tannin concentration, which is responsible for the wine's structure. Aged 12 months in new French oak, this rich red is loaded with jammy cassis and blueberry flavors, woven together with layers of floral and cedar notes. Great for $68 a bottle. Amazing for $12.99!
"This wine offers dried cherries on the nose. It's a juicy Malbec, with a fruit-forward and well-structured palate. Supported by ripe tannins, chocolate and dried herbs add an extra layer of flavors that lengthen the enjoyable finish." The Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points
