Tasted on 2 recent occasions, this proves to be delicious and a great VALUE. The most recent tasting was shared with the Olivers and the Berrys at Slogar in Crested Butte, CO. Its medium body with some spice and dark berry flavors (no pun). It paired surprisingly well with the fried chicken that Slogar is well-known for.
Variety: 100% MalbecWinemaker’s comments: This wine of great varietal character stands out for its elegance and complex aromatic expression, reflecting the typical characteristics of an Argentine Malbec wine. On the nose it opens with notes of red berries and plum, intermixed with agreeable notes of spice, black pepper, mint and graphite. On the palate the wine is soft and fresh, full-bodied and very delightful, which reflects the slow maturity of the grapes and a careful management of the winemaking process.
Aging potential: 1 to 2 years, this wine is recommended to drink young in order to fully enjoy the freshness of its aromas.
$6.99 at World Market, probably available widely. Bonus Spanish Lesson: Los Cardos = the thistles

That's some good fried chicken! Anybody got a good iron skillet for Man Trip?
I'm sure if you had asked Alton he would have loaned you a well seasoned one!
