Bodega Septima Malbec 2007

This Argentine red is a nice everyday dinner wine. It comes on with a somewhat subdued blackberry and plum taste, accompanied by a strong hint of vanilla, rather than the more usual chocolate that is characteristic of the variety. Once again, this wine must breathe for a good while to be at its best. $8.99 on sale, which gets the price down to what is close to the national average. Might still improve in the bottle.
