#82 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2010

Fausto Orellana de Escobar was chosen for the second time as one of the best Malbec producers of the year. He was born in Bolivia and has lived in Argentina for the last 30 years. He fell in love with Valle de Uco, and it is here where his estate is located, in La Consulta, at 990 meters above sea level. When we asked him what makes his vineyard different, he answered: "honestly, I think is its age" and he is not wrong, since it was planted 61 years ago, and when you look at the vines, it seems as if time had blessed them. This Malbec has a red-purple color and a strong mineral character, punctuated by graphite and ink notes. the nose is intense and perfumed with violets and black pepper. concentrated and juicy in the mouth, with tastes of bright fruit such as blackberries, currants and morello cherries. The finish is intense, long and lingering with ripe tannins.

    The 2007 Malbec Single Vineyard Vina Fausto Orellana de Escobar was sourced from a 61-year-old vineyard. It is broader, sweeter, and richer than its colleagues. Nicely structured, elegant, and lengthy, it will offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2022.

    Ripe and vivid, with delicious boysenberry, fig, pastis and raspberry ganache notes carried by a long, graphite-filled finish. Fruit-driven, but racy and long, with impressive precision to the ample fruit. Great mouthfeel. Drink now through 2012.

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.
