Winemaker Notes
The cube on the label is an example of how many times the impossible is just an illusion. Too many times I heard the word "Imposible" when the winemaker Alfredo Merlo started this project, so that is how he decided to name his favorite wine.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Imposible - Vista Flores Single Vineyard - Malbec shares the ripe profile of its siblings: fruit-driven, big and in-your-face. It has flavors of ripe fruit, raisins, prunes and figs, and a note of violets, ending slightly warm. It is a powerful Malbec.
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.
