Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 E. Foster Reserva is 100% Malbec sourced from old vines of 50+ years and aged for 12 months in 30% new French and American oak before bottling without fining and filtration. It reveals an excellent bouquet of cedar, tobacco, spice box, lavender, and black cherry that jumps from the glass. Medium-bodied with an elegant personality, this is a sweetly-fruited, spicy, easygoing Malbec for enjoying over the next 6-8 years.

Wine & Spirits
This big, unctuous wine fills the mouth with black fruit, sweet, cinnamon-like spice and a touch of leather. It develops complexity as it opens in the glass, taking on fresher dimensions while it maintains its candied depth.
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.
