Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2008 Reserva “R” is a blend of 60% Malbec and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Purple-colored, it has an enticing perfume of smoke, black cherry, and plum. Medium-bodied and elegant, it has savory flavors, good spice, and medium-length. Drink this solid effort over the next 5 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.
