Argentinian-Style Marinated Steak
Malbec is the perfect pairing for Argentinian-Style steak but Red Blends, particularly a GSM or Syrah-based red have the concentrated dark fruit notes that balance herbaceous notes in the dish. The structure of these wines are dense and rich, which pairs wonderfully with the grilled meat.
