Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.
Why it works with Veal Cordon Bleu
Malbec's weight matches Veal Cordon Bleu's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.

Why it works with Veal Cordon Bleu
Pinot Noirand less like a workout.
