Mendoza's Malbecs On The Rise

Friday's Wall Street Journal featured an article on Argentina's Malbec wines and their explosion on the international market. The reviewers did a blind tasting of 60 Malbecs and had glowing reviews for the varietal. Notable favorites were:

Felipe Rutini 2004
Nieto Senetiner 'Reserva' 2004
Bodegas Caro (Domaines Barons de Rothschild-Lafite and Nicolas Catena) 2002
El Felino (Vina Cobos) 2004 
Bodega Terrazas de los Andes 2006

More interesting is the fact that in the first four months of this year, the U.S. imported almost 50% more wine from Argentina than from longstanding favorite, Chile. This compares to 2000, when Chile exported almost five times as much wine to the U.S. as Argentina did.
