Winemaker Notes
Intense violet color. In the nose, aromas of black fruits, violets and
spices. Mineral and graphite notes. Great balance and freshness in the mouth, with good concentration and medium structure. Soft tannins and persistent finish.

James Suckling
This is a refined and savory malbec with iron, white pepper, spices and dark fruit character. Full body and chewy yet fine tannins. Delicious and refined finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The first red I tasted was the 2013 Malbec Estate, a floral and aromatic wine that is all about violets and blueberries and offers great freshness and poise. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky texture and fine tannins. The label says Valle de Uco, but the technical data tells me the grapes come from Gualtallary, the higher part of Tupungato, where they have planted no less than 135 hectares of vineyards. This is a delicious, mineral Malbec that over delivers. It has great freshness and acidity and it tastes like a higher end wine from many wineries. At this price it is a steal!
