I warned you hipsters. I told you to put down the Yellowtail. I told you South American wines are hot right now. Now you've got no excuse.
Septima Malbec 2004 ($) is cheap and decent. It's a good "daily drinker" that has enough complexity to turn you on to better wines.
This wine requires some air time, but when it's ready, it offers a strong nose of plums. The taste is equally "plummy" (is that a word?), with notes of vanilla. The finish isn't memorable and the tannins are slightly grainy, but not disagreeable.
You wouldn't write to your mother about this wine, but you wouldn't mind serving it to her, either.
Try it out. At the price -- roughly 11 bucks -- you have no excuse not to.
Cheers!
