MAIPE |
| Very deep intense purple colour. Complex, slightly spicy, intense, ripe, warm plum nose with some cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, cedary, baked plum-cherry puree flavours with a lingering, vanilla-driven, fairly tangy finish. Try with barbecued ribs. Has 14.5% alcohol and only 2 g/L residual sugar. Similar to the recommended best buy 2010 (**/**+) released on September 15, 2012 at $17.95. Fine value but 91-points? |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: The same can be said for the 2012 Malbec Reserve, a 100% hand-harvested Malbec from the estate's finest vineyard parcels. Aged 12 months in French oak, it possesses a softer style than the Cabernet Sauvignon with more minerality as well as lots of blackberry, white chocolate, incense and graphite characteristics. Deep ruby/purple-hued, rich and full-bodied, it is a full-throttle, stunning Malbec to drink over the next 4-5 years. Score - 91 (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Aug. 2013) |
