Malbec is king in the US right now for several reasons. Not only is it highly affordable but it gives tasters a bit of insight into the culture that is uniquely Argentina. Rich, fruity, with earthy complexity, Malbec nearly has it all.

There has been a lot of coverage about Malbec and the rise of Argentine imports into the US. Argentine wines recently surpassed Spain as the fourth largest in imports behind France, Italy and Australia. So basically Argentina is on fire!
