The Show 2009 Malbec is from Mendoza, Argentina and produced by Three Thieves (later for this after my review of the wine). When I first saw the label on the bottle I thought to myself, "this wine can't be very good", but boy was I ever wrong. The Show is wonderful! (On Three Thieves' website they say, "a bold label, for a bold wine".) For once I find the Winemaker's Notes to be spot on (okay, I don't taste the violets - go figure). A yummy (I know, not a wine term) black cherry, pepper, and spice flavor with smooth tannins and long velvety finish. I recommend this Malbec to customers and I highly recommend it to you. Winemaker's Notes: The Show Malbec is a delicious wine with flavors of blackberry, cranberry, white pepper and spice, with toasty vanilla and violets. The wine has smooth tannins, a velvety texture and a long, lingering finish.
Now for Three Thieves. When I went to their website for a bottle shot and Winemaker's Notes I saw that Three Thieves is founded by three men one of whom is Joel Gott whose 815 Cabernet I reviewed only two days ago. The other two men are Roger Scommegna who founded realtor.com, and Charles Beiler who has a wine background from France. They search for high-end varietals (around the world) to produce top quality wine. They produce The Bandit tetra packs and have a partnership with Newman's Own Wines.
As for the label, they partnered with Nashville’s Hatch Show Print for this. The front and back labels (I now think) are pretty awesome.
