San Pedro '9 Lives' Reserve Malbec 2017 Review
It’s not easy these days to find focus under $10 when it comes to Argentine Malbec, but here we are with a nice, round, juicy, uncomplicated wine for the masses, and by masses I mean if you are having a party you absolutely cannot go wrong with this wine. It’s not too sharp, not too hot and has good balance of fruit and tannin. It’s the kind of wine that pairs well with good convo, compelling an eyebrow to rise up on first sip, then get back to chatting about the final season of you know what while the grill is cranking.
