Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Cocina Malbec was aged for 14 months in 20% new French and American oak and bottled without fining or filtration. Dark ruby red in color, this medium-bodied effort sports a nose of spice box, tobacco, violets, and black cherry. In the glass it opens to reveal a bit of structure, savory flavors, and a forward personality. Drink this solid value over the next 3-4 years.

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.
