WINE: Jean Bousquet


I think Malbec wines can ruin you for all others if you drink them too often. They have such body they make others seem limp. Malbec grapes are the best quality grape planted in the Mendoza region of Argentina. They make up more than 70% of the varieties that they have planted there. In Argentina the varietal wines are made from 100% of the named grape on the label. A Malbec is a Malbec all the way through.
Jean Bousquet is one of our favourite Malbecs. It is organic which is a plus. It is full of smokey cherry flavour and goes so well with steak dinner but is pleasant enough to drink on it's own.

  2. I have never had this but will pick up a bottle soon. Thanks for the post. I live near Memphis TN and have a link on my sidebar for a friend who was the wine critic for years in the midsouth. He's most interesting. Thanks for sharing.
