terrazas malbec reserva '06 paired with albondigas (spanish meatballs). 

This argentinean malbec stands out for its meatiness and intense rich fruit flavor, a combination of cherries, dried plums and raisins. Appreciated for its spicy white pepper characteristic, further hints of vanilla and caramel; add a new level of complexity to its already full and exciting aroma. This full-bodied wine contains complex tannins and its well-balanced fruit-and-acid profile makes it a natural to be paired with red meat. This wine is adaptable and stands up well to spicy cuisine. Because if its balance and fruit, this malbec pairs nicely with pairings albondigas, fried beef and pork meatballs with a spicy tomato chipotle sauce.
