Most anything from Mendoza of the Uco Valey. Can't remember any names of the ones I've tried but I bought the last at Costco and really liked it. In the $18 range.

My wife and I are huge Malbec fans. I love the bold flavors. Black pepper and smoke.yummmmm

I recommend Catena, goes great with a smoke or ham. On the lighter side or as an intro try Diseno. Both are pretty easy to find and cheap.

^^^ is that a "grape or brand name?

( I think it's a grape name)

What countries are those two brands from?

Australia, Argentina, Chile, U.S.??

It is a grape. I think first grown in France, Bordeaux and Cahors. Though it's best known in Argentina. It is grown in other countries, but only to a small extent.

Malbec is the grape variety.

Catena and Diseno are brands both from Chile. Distributed by Glazer in the U.S.

I like the Altos de las Hormigas Malbec Reserva. Actually, all of the Altos Malbecs are pretty good. 🌫
