92 points James Suckling: "An attractive, fresh red with rich black-fruit character and stony minerality. Some cedar wood as well. Medium-bodied with outstanding depth and fine tannins. Spicy undertone. Will get even better in a year or two." (02/2020) 90 points Tim Atkin: "Vicky Pons makes this unwooded Malbec from younger vines planted in 2001, aiming to reflect “the personality of Agrelo”. Supple, smooth and textured, it’s the kind of inexpensive red that will delight the grape’s many fans, with fresh acidity plum and summer pudding flavours." Vino...

95 points Decanter: " DWWA 2022 "Opulent and inviting aromatics, with pretty rose petal, heady sandalwood and plush blueberry on the nose, while the palate is laced with lush plum, a zippy acidity and velvety smooth tannins."" (07/2022) 91 points Descorchados : "From vineyards more than 1,800 meters high in Cafayate, in the Calchaquíes Valley, deep in the Andes. This desert wine is rich in ripe and succulent red fruits, and on the palate, it has firm and tense acidity that marks the contours of the mouth, brightens the flavors, and accentuates the tann...

94 points Descorchados : "This blend of 70% malbec is primarily from Lunlunta, 23% bonarda from eastern Mendoza, and petit verdot from the Agrelo zone on the southern bank of the Mendoza River. It was aged for a little over a year in barrels of different uses and today it’s a young and energetic wine with a load of firm tannins that are very reactive on the palate and a young and somewhat wild texture that needs time, not only for those tannins to soften up, but also so that the aromas and fruity flavors gain in complexity. Patience here." (01/2022) 93...

94 points Descorchados : "At an altitude of 1,400 meters, Gualtallary is the source of some of El Enemigo’s best reds. The specific source is the Adrianna Vineyard, which was planted in the mid-1990s on sandy, gravel, and calcareous soils at the foot of Lomas del Jaboncillo, in what is now known as the Monastery zone. From there we get this kind of introduction to the world of El Enemigo in the heights of the Uco Valley, a malbec that has fruity and floral notes as well as herbal and earthy touches. The palate is tense and rich in reactive tannins. An an...

92 points Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Appellation Lunlunta Malbec is from a riper year than the 2019, but they still managed to keep the alcohol to a moderate 13.65% and retain enough freshness to make the wine fresh and balanced with some earthy rusticity and juicy fruit. It was bottled after eight months in oak barrels, and the wines show increasingly less oak. (LG)" (03/2021) 92 points Vinous: "The 2020 Malbec Catena Appellation Lunlunta hails from Luján de Cuyo on the alluvial river bank of the Río Mendoza and was aged for eight months in 35% new barr...

93 points Tim Atkin: ""Our classic Malbec,” is how Thibaut Delmotte describes this blend of four vineyards at
different altitudes - Altura Máxima, Colomé, El Arenal and La Brava. Wonderfully juicy and
scented, it’s the perfect introduction to the variety, with intense damson, blueberry and wild
thyme flavours, palate-caressing tannins and a tangy finish." 92 points Vinous: "The 2020 Malbec Estate from the Calchaquí Valley, Salta was aged for 15 months in a quarter new barrels. A purplish ebony in the glass. The concentrated, intense nose offers notes ...

93 points James Suckling: "Notes of blue plums and blueberries with hints of savory herbs, violets and wet stones. A crunchy and savory palate with juicy, finely polished tannins and chalky blue fruit character. Pretty and attractive with a mineral finish." (02/2023) 93 points Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Malbec Reserve was produced from vines on limestone soils in Gualtallary (80%) and Altamira (20%) with concentration and elegance. It has 13.8% alcohol and keeps very good freshness and balance. It fermented with natural yeasts, and 75% of the volume matu...

95 points Wine Advocate: "My favorite of the Malbecs is the 2018 Eggo Tinto de Tiza, from a Mendoza year—mild and dry—and aged exclusively in concrete eggs, which to me is the Zorzal signature. This is elegant, nuanced and pure, with great aromatics, clean and precise and with a medium-bodied palate, with moderate ripeness and red rather than black fruit. This is superb. It matured for 10 months before it was bottled... (LG)" (03/2021) 93 points James Suckling: "Tar, pepper and blackberry aromas follow through to a medium body with very finely polished...

92 points Wine Advocate: "The classical red 2019 Malbec Terroir Luján de Cuyo was produced with certified organic grapes from their property, selected from places with almost no clay and more limestone. Seventy-five percent of the volume was kept in the concrete tanks, where it fermented for 18 months, while the rest matured in 3,500-liter oak foudres. This has 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.74, and it's juicy and balanced, with a similitude with the Malbec Classico. It's from 24 hectares planted on their property, and this is selected from a small plot tha...

93 points Vinous: "The 2021 Malbec Año Cero hails from La Consulta in the Uco Valley and was a third aged for 10 months in barrels. Purple in hue. It begins with bold notes of violet and plum followed by gentle hints of herb, black tea and lavender. In the mouth, the tannins are broad but refined with juicy freshness, bold flavor and a refined texture. “Here, the ripeness comes out in the aromas,” says Karim Mussi Safie, the oenologist behind this wine, and this certainly rings true in the glass. The year adds to the complexity. (JH)" (09/2022) 92 poin...

98 points Wine Advocate: "The super-expressive 2004 Cobos Malbec Marchiori Vineyard is opaque purple/black in color. Its perfume of toasty oak, mineral, lavender, blueberry, and black cherry is very sexy and leads to a complex, spicy, rich, chewy wine which also manages to combine elegance and power. Its length and superb balance suggest another eight years of cellaring with a drinking window from 2016 to 2040. (JM)" (12/2008) 94 points Wine Spectator: "Very muscular, with lots of bacony toast and coffee leading the way for dark, ripe layers of currant...

96 points James Suckling: "A really well-balanced malbec here that is slightly spicier and richer. Black cherries, dark olives and some violets. Fleshy and almost full-bodied on the palate with juicy, naturally rendered fruit and very fine-grained tannins. Balance is the word. " (02/2023) 96 points Wine Advocate: "The very young but already harmonious 2021 Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino has one of the showier labels from the Catena portfolio. 2021 was a cooler year, as cold as 2016, but instead of a wet year like 2016, it was dry.

Rich, smoky and flavorful finish. Malbec, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot." (02/2022) 93 points Wine Advocate: "The red blend 2020 Unus was produced with 65% Malbec, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot from different locations in Mendoza, fermented in small stainless steel tanks followed by malolactic in barrel and 16 months in French barrique.

98 points Tim Atkin: "“Concentration is easy to achieve in Argentina,” says Alberto Antonini, “but texture is much harder.” All I can say is that he has succeeded here on this best-ever release from Altos Las Hormigas, which brings Burgundian levels of grace and complexity to Malbec. Scented, hauntingly graceful and complex with remarkable focus and depth, a hint of oak, sweet red fruits and a lingering finish. Exceptional winemaking" (05/2021) 94 points Vinous: "The 2019 Malbec Appellation Paraje Altamira is made with grapes from the eponymous Uco Val...

It has contained ripeness and 13.7% alcohol from a cooler year in a warmer place. It's a classical Malbec, balanced and elegant but also powerful with fine tannins. It finishes with violets and spice. It's a Malbec with spicy oak.

A vivid purple in color, the pure, expressive nose offers aromas of fresh plum and blackcurrant with hints of herb and violet and a whiff of jalapeño. In the mouth, it’s compact with finely grained, chalky tannins, verticality and tension. A wine bursting with lively expression. (JH)" (11/2021)

93 points Decanter: "The Naoki Vineyard is planted on a steep east-west slope at 950m in Agrelo, producing this expressive Malbec, which is hand-harvested and aged for 12 months in new and used French oak. Elegant black fruit aromas, edged in vanilla, spice and floral notes. There's lovely depth of velvety black fruit, interwoven with spice, plus fine tannins and a savoury bite to the finish. A cracking match for steak. (JS)" (04/2022) 93 points Tim Atkin: "Naoki’s Vineyard is the stoniest and the chalkiest of Casarena’s single parcels and it shows in...

98 points Wine Advocate: "The 2014 Adrianna Vineyard River Stones is the second vintage of the Malbec from the stonier part of the Adrianna Vineyard in Gualtallary that is next to a dry river bed (the vineyard has 110 hectares that were planted in 1994). It fermented in open-top 500-liter oak barrels with full clusters. It was pressed before the end of fermentation, and it then finished fermenting without skins (like a white) and matured in 1,800-liter oak foudre for 18 months. It's a compact, super serious Malbec with concentration and power, great bala...
