Septima Malbec is a slightly dry wine with a burgundy color. It was a mediocre Malbec for it’s inexpensive price point – enjoyable but not a favorite.

This is a medium to light bodied malbec made with grapes from Mendoza’s Valle de Uco and Agrelo in Lujan de Cuyo.

It’s flavor didn’t stand out as much as other Malbec’s do, which makes a passable bottle at $12. It had a somewhat weak finish (especially for this varietal) despite it’s 14% ABV.

Chad's Notes

I'd say this one was just okay - I enjoyed drinking it, but it my options would have to be pretty limited for me to give it another go. It opened with a bright plum flavor and a hint of vanilla, but that was about all it offered, lacking the pop one would expect from a Malbec.
