Winemaker Notes

Vintage 2008 was outstanding for all varieties, but particularly for Malbec. This grape showed the highest expression of Barrancas.

Its color seduces with an intense and deep red, bright with violet shades. Pascual Toso Malbec Reserva rested in American oak for 12 months.

Its complexity in aromas and flavors denotes plums, cherries, floral touch of violets, vanilla and fume. elegant wine with great personality Round. Long finish..without a doubt a wine to enjoy all its aromas and flavors…… Delicious!

    Dispite early woody aromas of sawdust and pencil shavings, this is yet another in a long line of fine Malbecs from Pascual Toso. the black-fruit nose equals pure power (and oak), while the palate is a potent brew of lusty blackberry, mocha and fine acidity. Long and lasting on the finish. A fine example of Mendoza Malbec.

    Though it's as big as a bear sleeping through winter, this malbec has amiable warmth and smoothness in its flavors of blackberries and figs-all tremendously ripe. For an oxtail stew.

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.
