Winemaker Notes
Intense red color with violet hues. Fresh red fruit and spicy floral aromas stand out, accompanied by vanilla and toasted almonds. The palate is fruity, balanced and with good volume. Its sweet tannins give a gentle and persistent finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Tapiz Alta Collection Malbec is quite similar to the Zolo Reserva Malbec, but a couple of steps higher in focus and intensity, with subtle aromas of flowers and blue fruit, a sleek palate with no edges, good acidity and intensity. This wine represents very good value. Drink 2014-2018.
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.
