Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The fruit for the 2006 Cadus Malbec was sourced from Lujan de Cuyo and Alto Agrelo with the wine spending 24 months in new French oak. It offers up a classy nose of pain grille, pencil lead, Asian spices, incense, lavender, espresso, and black cherry. On the palate it is elegant with some underlying structure, excellent volume, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. It will be at its best from 2013 to 2021.
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.
