Winemaker Notes
This Malbec has a purple-black color and is bursting with blackcurrant and damson aromas. It's full-bodied with plenty of black cherry and chocolate notes and a slightly peppery, velvety finish.

A fresh scent of violets mingles with this malbec's ripe black fruit, lending a touch of delicacy and seductive complexity. The texture is supple, well rounded and ample, with deliciously juicy balance. Polished and smooth, this malbec would go well with braised goose.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Malbec Q is a step up over the Serie A. It offers more depth and complexity, savory flavors, some structure, and a medium-long finish. It will evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed now.
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.
