The 2021 Malbec Mendoza is 50% from the Uco Valley, 40% from Luján de Cuyo and 10% from Medrano, all in Mendoza, and spent nine months in used French oak. Purple in color. The vivid nose delivers fresh plum, sour cherry, violets and a bouquet of herbs accompanied by hints of balsam. Slightly indulgent in the mouth, it’s juicy in spite of its volume and grippy tannins. A well-rounded wine with hints of lavender perfume on the long, bold finish.

93 points, Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous (Nov 2022)

Plenty of fruit on the nose with a nice reductive and peppery edge. Dark cherries and strawberries with spiced plums and violets. Firm, flavorful and medium- to full-bodied on the palate with tight, fine-grained tannins. Fresh, fruit-oriented finish. Better in 2024.

93 points, James Suckling (Apr 2023)

The juicy and fruit-driven 2021 Malbec comes from all the different zones: 60% from Luján, 30% from Vallede Uco and 10% from eastern Mendoza, and the Luján part gave it a floral touch, making it aromatic, rich, classical Mendoza with 25% of the volume kept in concrete and the rest in neutral and well-seasoned 160- and 225-liter oak barrels for eight months. This represents around 60% of the volume of the winery and is their entry-level wine. It's ripe at 14.5% alcohol and has good acidity and freshness. 312,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.
