2006 Bodega Norton Malbec Lujan de Cuyo

This month’s wine selection is a genuine Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. It has a deep red color with a hint of violet and black pepper and has a spicy, yet fruity aroma. I really like this wine as an everyday red wine because of its smooth tannins and velvety texture. It pairs especially well with steak, smoked meats and pizza.

Available at World Market and The Greenery.
