Very fresh, with great acidity driving the fig, crushed plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors, all laid seamlessly over a racy graphite underpinning. Shows great drive and focus, with gorgeous spice notes echoing through the lengthy finish. Perhaps not as dense as the 2006, but with better freshness and precision now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Malbec was sourced from a 77-year-old, pre-phylloxera vineyard, fermented with native yeasts and aged in new French oak for 18 months. Deep violet in color, it has a superb perfume of wood smoke, damp earth, spice box, incense, black cherry, and plum. Medium- to full-bodied with an elegant personality, the wine has a satin texture, superb depth and grip, succulent flavors, integrated oak, and a lengthy, pure finish. This pleasure-bent wine can be enjoyed now but will certainly evolve for another 3-4 years and drink well through 2022.

Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
