Made primarily from Malbec (Argentina’s signature red grape), Bonarda (Argentina’s second most widely planted red grape), and Tempranillo, the Alamos Red Blend displays deep, ripe flavors of blackberry and plum with layers of brown spice. The Alamos vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina lie in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Alamos wines are born of the intense mountain sunlight and pure snowmelt water of the Andes, and embody the richness of this rugged, remote region. This great red blend is made of 40% malbec, 18% tempranillo, 14% bonarda, 14% cabernet sauvignon, 7% petit verdot, 7% syrah.
From the winemaker – “The Alamos Red Blend has spicy flavors of black pepper and blackberry fruit from the Syrah and juicy dark cherry flavors from the Bonarda, which both marry well with the dark plum flavors of Malbec. Tempranillo adds an intriguing edge with its lively strawberry nuances that mingle perfectly with hints of oak. Warm brown spice characters from the oak and rich mouthfeel deliver a bold and very approachable wine.”
Enjoy with baked, barbecued, broiled or roasted chicken, Chicken Cacciatore, chicken in mushroom or red wine sauce, chicken marinated in herbs and grilled.
