There are places in the world steeped in winemaking tradition, where special grapes are grown on scenic hillsides and in picturesque valleys by generations of knowledgeable winemakers who turn them into memorable wines. At Marcus James, we are dedicated to bringing you the finest of these wines. Argentinean Malbec. Vineyards were first planted in Argentina in the mid-16th century with grape cuttings brought over by European immigrants. Malbec, the most widely-planted varietal in Argentina today, may have originated in Europe, but it has found its perfect expression in Argentina, where winemakers have made it their specialty, creating Argentina's best red. This 1998 Mendoza Malbec has a magnificent complexity and an outstanding depth of delicious berry notes and hints of spice. The result is enjoyable wine that leaves you feeling fulfilled.
