James Suckling 91 pts (2024 vintage). General acclaim for approachable, high-value Malbec; past Alamos releases have won competition medals (e. g. , New York International Wine Competition)

Grilled steak, roast lamb, barbecue ribs, aged cheddar; Korean BBQ (bulgogi), char siu/roast pork, spicy Sichuan beef, mushroom stir-fry.

Production Method
Hand-harvested high‑altitude fruit; gentle cold-soak and small-batch fermentation with pump-overs; aged 6–8 months in French oak barrels before bottling.
