Winemaker Notes
"The 2005 Reserva Malbec was sourced from four estate vineyards located in different regions of Mendoza. It was aged for 12 months in seasoned French and American oak. Purple-colored, it offers a nose of wood smoke, mocha, and black cherry. This is followed by a medium-bodied wine with sweet fruit, good depth, and excellent balance. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 4-5 years."

Professional Ratings
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.
