Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
All of the following red wines were produced with native ferments. The 2010 Malbec Mendoza Reserva exhibits a bouquet of wood smoke, mineral, floral notes, incense, and black cherry. Plush and pleasure-bent on the palate, this nicely proportioned Malbec is an excellent value...
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.
