A special offer just for you! 2006 Don Miguel Gascon Malbec This weekend we are offering yet another steal from Argentina. South American malbecs are the perfect accompaniment to the heartier meals we love during the wintery months. The Gascon malbec is full of rich flavors, character and is also a tremendous value! The Wine Advocate recently scored this wine 90 Points with the following tasting note - "This Mendoza Malbec is a full bodied wine with a deep violet color, showcasing flavors and aromas of blackberry, blueberry, plum, dark cherry, and a hint of mocha. The wine is elegant and rich in texture, with soft and round tannins and a long velvety finish." $12.99 a bottle 10% off 6 bottles 15% off 12 or more Best Wishes!
