Malbec is the king of Argentina. However, if you like rich, full wines with dark fruit flavors, then you might want to try the fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignons from Argentina. The Cabs from Argentina are very similar to the Malbecs. Best of all, they are typically not expensive at all!
A Picada is both the name of a traditional Argentine platter of meat, cheeses and pickled vegetables, but it is also the name of a dusty road that runs through the mountains of Patagonia. Perhaps a Picada was the only meal that was suitable to eat whilst walking along kicking up dust in the mountains. Well, anyway, with a bit of luck you won’t be washing a mouth full of dust down while enjoying this approachable Malbec, and will be able to enjoy its soft and fine tannins with a tasty Picada from in the comfort of your own home.
