Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This wine has a complete harmony between color, aroma, flavor and finish. This wine has Paul Hobbs’s best 23 Oak Barrels selection of Malbec; which has characterizations of an intense red with notes of violets and plums and sweet tannins. Malbec is combined with a touch of the best Cabernet Sauvignon in order to give more consistency. Ripe, juicy raspberry fruit, with lovely boysenberry and plenty of vanilla, spice and chocolate shavings. Very elegant in style.

Professional Ratings

    A refined red, with powerful cherry, dried plum and baked fig flavors, supported by fresh acidity. Lengthens out midpalate, presenting some beefy notes. Creamy accents show on the pure and minerally finish, revealing cocoa powder details. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2020.
  • 93
    Cool, piercing aromas suggest wood grain and maple alongside blackberry and cassis scents. This massive wine is tannic, but meaty and friendly at its base. Savory, inky flavors of plum and floral-berry fruits finish with strong oak; fortunately this has the structure and fruit to handle it. Drink through 2024.

    The impressive 2013 Magdalena Toso is a hedonistic blend of 80% Malbec and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from old vineyards in Maipú that matured in brand new French oak barrels for 18 months. It mixes sweet fruit with aromas of violet pastille, ripe cherries, vanilla and a touch of earth. The palate is full-bodied with abundant, refined tannins and balancing acidity. This is usually an XL bottle, price tag included. It should develop nicely in bottle.
  • 92
    Aromas of wet earth, mushroom and sweet tea. Full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Ripe fruit underneath. A blend of 80% mabec with 20% cabernet sauvignon.

Pascual Toso  Pascual Toso Vineyard Winery Image

When in the mid 1880s Pascual Toso set out towards Argentina from its home town, Canale D’Alba, in Piamonte, Italy, he could not have imagined that he would become the founder of a winery, which is today one of the oldest and most prestigious wineries in Argentina.

When he arrived in Argentina, he settled in Mendoza. As he had been closely involved in the development of his family wine business in Piedmont, he promptly saw the promising future for winemaking in the region and decided to use his expertise. Thus, in 1890, Pascual Toso established his first winery in San José, Guaymallén.

At the beginning of the 20th century, he decided to expand his business and acquired vineyards in Maipú. At his estate “Las Barrancas”, he built another winery, “Las Barrancas” (small Canyon) which is dedicated to producing and growing the finest grapes.

In 2001, the Bodega hired as winemaker consultant to Mr. Paul Hobbs for a new high quality wine project. He has been working head to head with our chief winemaker, Rolando Luppino, on the development of premium and super-premium wines. Today, Pascual Toso still makes wines of high quality under the most exigent procedures and rules. The Trophy for Best Argentine Producer awarded by the IWSC (London) in 2007 reflects this commitment to quality.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

Argentina

View all products

By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.

For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
