"Steady as a rock, with smoky, charred aromas mixed with beautiful black fruit scents as well as accents of licorice and earth. For anyone enthralled with New World ripeness, this is the ticket. It’s a blend of 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is lush, packed with blackberry and boysenberry flavors, and viscous on the finish. Complete and special at every level." 93 points - Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2008
"The 2005 Finca Pedregal is 70% Malbec and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from the Pedregal de Barancas Vineyard in the Maipu district of Mendoza. It was aged for 18 months in a mix of French and American oak. It delivers a superb perfume of pain grille, pencil lead, mineral, espresso, black cherry, and blackberry. Complex and elegant on the palate, it has gobs of savory, ripe fruit, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and several years of aging potential. It should be at its best from 2012 to 2022." 92 points - Jay Miller for Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 180
"This is dark and winy, with layers of fig sauce, ripe plum, shaved vanilla, Turkish coffee and molten chocolate running along dense but fine-grained tannins. The long, exotic finish lets spice, cocoa and dark fruit notes linger. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2011. 600 cases made." 91 points - Wine Spectator, May 15, 2008 |
