Pircas Negras Malbec 2008

Served With: Stir-Fry

Five Things: bramble, black cherry, dusky purple, strawberry, medium finish

COO: La Rioja, Argentina

Notes: I decided to take another flyer with this paring; taking a mellow organic malbec from Argentina and putting it against a moderately spicy stir-fry. The earthiness of the malbec muted some of the spiciness from the stir-fry, but didn't really sparkle overall. Still, on the whole, this fared better than the viognier/stroganoff pairing from last night.
