Malbec?

Fruity is not always light.
It hasn't got shit loads of tannins which I suppose is the "heavy" measure?

The problem with good US wine seems to be that you can't export it, the makers aren't interested.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 14:59, Reply)

Indeed so.
When I go to my father's he has some exquisite bottles. If they can sell all they produce without breaking a sweat why export?

no reason to

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 11 Aug 2011, 15:04, Reply)

That's not the reason
I don't think. At least with a lot of the smaller places. You can buy their wines, for instance, online through brokers but they won't ship them outside the US. I asked a couple last time I was over there and they went on about taxation difficulties etc. But they have to deal with taxation differences shipping state-to-state so I'm not sure that makes sense
