Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The lineup begins with the purple-colored 2006 Malbec, made from purchased fruit, and which spent 12 months in French oak. The aromatics offer enticing notes of cedar, spice box, blueberry, and black raspberry leading to a smooth-textured, flavorful, well-balanced Malbec with 2-3 years of aging potential. Drink this tasty effort from 2010 to 2018.
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.
