Malbec - Salentein Reserve

Wine #3.. 4?

So Wine #1 was a Mackadaet. Wine #2 was a Riesling and Wine #3 was a Gewurztraminer.

Wine #5 is the first wine enjoyed with this project in mind. In that respect this wine will be fairly special.

Pairing:

While originally tasted with a clean palate, this Malbec was eventually enjoyed with a 3-hour sous vide rib-eye, topped with bourbon caramelized onions and a balsamic-Merlot reduction sauce. Sides included roasted Yukon gold potatoes with a rosemary and garlic infused oil, topped with Parmesan, lemon zest, and flat parsley, in addition to a small spring salad.

The acidity of this Malbec worked wonderfully with the juicy rib-eye.
