88 pts. Wine Enthusiast: August, 2011
Opens with tarry, cooked aromas but with airing, oak and ripe, earthy berry notes squeak out. The palate is chewy and solid, with extract and tannic grab as well as smoky, sultry flavors of roasted black fruits and bouillon. Meaty and satisfying.

88 pts. Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar: Jan/Feb 2010
Bright ruby-red. Currant, flowers and spices on the nose. A pure, spicy midweight with good density of material but an enticing light touch and good cut. This easygoing malbec is always a very good value.

This plump red offers rounded cherry, plum and raspberry notes laced with a modest touch of roasted vanilla. Solid. Drink now.
