1861 Malbec
Everyday Argentine Malbec and a sweet Moscato, stocked in Commack.
The story behind 1861
Malbec is the red grape Argentina built its reputation on, and the everyday bottlings from Mendoza are some of the most dependable table wines on the shelf. The style is generous and dark, with plum and blackberry fruit, a soft mid palate and gentle tannin, which is why it works with grilled meat as easily as it does with a weeknight pasta.
We keep 1861 Malbec and 1861 Moscato here in Commack in small quantities, one or two bottles at a time. Ask at the counter and we will tell you honestly what we have on hand that day.
