The Angulo Innocenti Malbec shows the beautiful expression of La Consulta cool climate Malbec. With a dark, opaque purple color, the wine shows the rich, dark fruit flavors and delicate violet notes very typical of the La Consulta terroir. The wine also shows the freshness, balance and mineral undertone that has made this area so appreciated for Malbec.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The two wines from Angulo Innocenti are outstanding values. The 2010 Malbec is a glass-coating opaque purple color with an enticing bouquet of spice box, lavender, cherry cola, and assorted black fruits. Savory, ripe, and succulent on the palate, this full-bodied effort has enough depth and concentration to drink well through 2018+.

Wine Spectator
This dark, sappy red delivers rich yet racy flavors of blackberry coulis, plum skin and kirsch. Compact, with layered notes of coca nib. licorice and tar slowly unraveling on the long finish. Drink now through 2014. 1,300 cases imported.
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.
