95pts James Suckling

Lots of mountain herbs, mussel shells and sour black cherries. Full, fleshy and fresh on the palate with fine, silty tannins and a juicy, rather minerally finish. Long and tight but caressing and pretty transparent and tactile on the palate.

92pts Wine Enthusiast

This Malbec from Uco Valley starts with delicate leafy aromas that introduce a concentrated palate of plums, cherries and a touch of tobacco. It's well structured and finishes with a dash of savory herbs.
92pts Vinous

The 2022 Malbec Old Vine hails from La Consulta, Paraje Altamira and Pampa El Cepillo. This purple-hued wine features aromas of tea, violet, blackberry and hints of lavender. It is juicy with a smooth texture, showcasing plush tannins and a degree of compactness. The palate offers a hint of oak and the wine is broad with intense flavors. The 2022 vintage delivers a balanced and concentrated mouthfeel.

88pts Wine Spectator

A straightforward juicy style that bursts with hibiscus-laced cherry and berry flavors, backed by hints of vanilla bean on the finish. Drink now. 15,000 cases made, 7,500 cases imported.

Winemaker Notes

Spice and black cherry cola aromas with notes of cocoa. The berry flavors pop on the palate from its depth and lively acidity, finishing with hints of espresso.
Pairs well with foods such as venison or wild game, steak, pork, quail, all types of lamb, and medium-strong cheeses.
