This blog chronicles my journey through all of the wines under $5. Wine is such a mystery to many of us, and you may find yourself spending more hoping that it will make the wine taste better. No more! While there is a lot of crap in the under $5 range, there are a lot of great ones, too. Let me do the hard part for you. I'll drink them all and let you know which ones to go for and which to avoid. Cheers!

Fuerza Malbec 2003

Labels: , , , , , , ,

Vineyard: Fuerza
Location: Mendoza, Argentina
Type: Malbce
Vintage: 2003
Alcohol Content: 15.0%

Purchased: 2/25/09 - Trader Joe's, San Gabriel, CA

Rating: 5.0/10

Wines not bad but not as good last night. 15% is pretty strong, and you can smell it (not necessarily a good thing). Of course all of the same comments about Argentina and the label from last post apply to this wine as well.

Other thing is that this is a 2003 and the previous wine was a 2006. Makes you wonder why they are both the same price?
