90pts James Suckling
A fruity and juicy malbec with plenty of black cherries, sweet currants and spices. Round, fresh and firm on the palate, ending with some light, sweet spices and ripe cherries. Direct, relatively simple and fruity, but pretty well-made. Screw cap.
90pts Vinous
The 2022 Malbec is from the Uco Valley and was 70% aged in French oak and 30% in American (25% of which was new). A vibrant purple in the glass. The fruit-forward nose brings pronounced aromas of crushed plum with delicate floral hints and black tea. It's indulgent and fruity, with a pleasant, juicy character. The 2022 is a straightforward, flavorful wine notable for its relatively low alcohol content of 13.5%.
Winemaker Notes
Aromas of ripe red fruits with hints of spices and violets. The palate opens with notes of plum marmalade and gives way to hints of vanilla. Round tannins lead into a ripe fruit finish.
A highly heralded match with grilled meats, complementing rich smoky flavors with the wine’s ripe juicy profile. Also pairs well with grilled or roasted vegetables, pasta dishes and rich sauces.
