Rutini Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec
Not available on Wine-searcher, but it was quite cheap in Argentina (around the same price as the Rutini Malbec and Rutini Cabernet)
Good Value.

Nice ruby color, with great legs.

Not much aroma, though light floral hints can be smelled.

The blend works extremely well—smooth, soft, but at the same time, nicely acidic and with just enough bitterness.  Causes a great puckering feel in the mouth. Not overly oaky, but the tannins do come through, and they are very well-controlled—not too much, not too little. Not much complexity in terms of flavors, but still, quite a smooth, refreshing drink, especially for the price.

Overall Score: 3.7+/5.0. 4.0/5.0 for Value.
