Santa Julia, Mendoza (Argentina) Malbec Reserva 2006 ($11, Winesellers, Ltd.)
An excellent wine regardless of price, this is also a steal at its actual price.
Dark and rich but nevertheless pure in flavor and quite soft in texture, it features notes of dark berries and black plums, with nice accent notes of coffee beans and toast.
