Impressions from Mendoza
In the United States, Mendoza is pretty much synonymous with Malbec.
This makes sense to a certain extent: Aside from a handful of Bonardas
and the occasional other grape variety from this region in the shadow of
the Andes Mountains, Malbec comprises most of what we see from here.
And it’s not just a matter of export issues: Malbec is king in Mendoza,
producing wines that range from gulpable everyday reds to concentrated,
complex classics that have the potential to evolve for a decade or more
in the bottle.
