Honestly, I don't know yet...
Discovered that I liked Malbec earlier this year and have tried quite a variety since. I'm getting a lot of wines from Argentina of course - they do malbec in a big way there - but... there are some local Washington wines that are very, very good.
This may well have been the best of what I've sampled:

Guy,
I got a Doe tonight 30-minutes before shooting time. Shot was 100 yards, she was on the move, just as she paused I sent the 165 BT from the 06. She hit the ground flopping around and was sliding down the hill, righted her self and trotted towards me, stopped behind a tree. Gave her another one as she ran out going downhill. missed her a third time in some thick cover only to see her go down. upon investigation I shot her in the liver, it was pulverized, second shot was in the guts. Field dressing her with the aftermath of of 165 in the guts was not pleasant.
This is the second deer this year I shot in the liver, I doesn't anchor them like a lung or heart shot but I'm grateful none the less for the meat. I can't remember the last time I have shot that many times at a deer as it typically is a once and done thing for me :shock:

The best deer rifle is the one you have in your hands when you see a deer!
Those sizzling steaks sure look great! Is that Malbec a sweet or a dry?
My wife wants to know!

Dry. Nice and dry and a hint of pepper I think...
