Ricardo Santos Malbec

Ricardo Santos is the former owner of the Norton Winery and thirty-some years ago he was the first wine producer in Argentina to export Malbec.  Unless you’re new to wine or have been living under a rock you know that now Argentine wine is almost synonymous with Malbec.

Given Santos’ history with Malbec, I was really excited to taste this wine.  What I found was not a typical Argentine Malbec.  It was much more earthy and not as “big” as a lot of other Malbec.  We usually taste blind, so in full disclosure I’ll have to say that I didn’t taste this one blind.
