Our take
What we make of this bottle
In our September 2026 checks this Malbec ranged from $10.99 to $14.49, which for a red is toward the low end of what we track. The grape behind it started out in France and is now the one Argentina plants more than any other, where it usually gives a deep-colored red with a firm but easy structure.
Argentina's wine regulator names plum, blackberry and cherry among its usual flavors and calls the wine robust with clear acidity, a description of the grape rather than a tasting note for this bottle, which shoppers have rated 4.55 out of five. As of August 12, 2026, the shoppers who gave it that score came to 11.
Our call: a fair budget pick for the shopper who wants the robust, plum-and-blackberry profile Argentina's regulator assigns the grape, at a low price that lands among the least expensive reds we track. Pass if you want the score to close the case; the shopper average sits below the middle of the rated wines we cover.
