96 points James Suckling: "This has aromas of ripe apricots, buttercream, baked apples and pastries. Medium-to full-bodied with a creamy, round and almost oily texture. Lovely balance of ripe fruit and toasted-pastry notes with bright acidity. Delicious finish. Fantastic value, as always. " (03/2022) 95 points Wine & Spirits: "This wine showed its pedigree in our blind tasting, where its rich, layered orchard-fruit flavors were buttressed by well-integrated acidity. Pour a glass, put the rest into a decanter and enjoy the slow reveal of its white-miner...

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 Tim Atkin: "If Argentina has a Sauvignon Blanc specialist, then it is Matías Michelini, who seems to have a personal bond with the variety. Pithy, taut and focused, this remarkable, low-alcohol white comes from an island in the middle of the Las Tunas River and is wonderfully saline and refreshing. Long, chiselled and defiantly unwooded. 2022-31" 94 points Descorchados : "This Agua de Roca is now in its tenth vintage since it burst onto the scene in 2011 with an idea for a sauvignon that would interpret a place like San Pablo, more than 1,4...

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...

91 points Descorchados : "From a selection of vineyards about 1,800 meters above sea level at the Finca San Isidro estate, this is a blend that has riesling, although the truth is that it's the torrontés from Salta that plays the leading role, with its floral aromas and succulent, broad texture and the sensation that the palate is full of ripe white fruit flavors. Ideal for a fried chicken empanada." (01/2022) 90 points Vinous: "The 2021 Torrontés - Riesling Blanco De Corte is 85% Torrontés and the rest Riesling from Cafayate. Yellow in color with a no...

94 points Vinous: "The 2022 Torrontés Estate is from Molinos, Salta. Torrontés is a variety best drunk young and recently made; that’s when it’s at its most alluring, and this is a perfect example. Yellow in the glass. The nose showcases notes of jasmine, early morning orange blossom, dew and country herbs against a citrussy, bitter orange background. It’s expressive with a compact, malic flow while the flavors fill the mouth, stretching out the long finish.

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...

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 ...

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 Wine Advocate: "The peppery, spicy and elegant 2021 Appellation San Carlos Cabernet Franc is fresh, varietal, nuanced and complex while keeping the alcohol to a moderate 13.6%, which makes it attractive and easy to drink, with nice balance and very fine tannins. I usually like the precision and symmetry in this lively wine that has a velvety mouthfeel. 96,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2021.

93 points Descorchados : "The first vintage of this wine was the 2003, and this year it has something new—10% from their own vineyards in Altamira, from the first year of production of vines planted in 2017. And although it's just a few drops, it has changed the style of this wine, lending it nerve and red fruit—crunchy sour cherries—that make a delicious wine with firm, sharp, and tense tannins that correspond to the texture that you normally find in mountain wines. And just 10% have transformed this classic. It's exciting to imagine a 100% bonarda from...

Subtle, sappy and layered. The mineral spike extends to a simply delicious finish. Drink now." (02/2023) K&L Notes: Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, the grandson of Sassicaia founder Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, ended up in Patagonia after tasting a bottle of Pinot Noir. He fell in love with the wine, and wanted to see the old vines that produced it. This wine comes from 60-year-old,...

Alma 4 started as a tiny project of four friends at viticulture school. Over the last 20 years that tiny “school project” has grown into one of the more sought-after boutique sparkling wine producers of South America. This is 100% Chardonnay sourced from high elevation, cool climate sites in the Uco and Tupungato valleys. The soils of the vineyards are a mix of calcareous stones, gravel and sands. 20% of the wine was fermented in 500L oak barrels and Malolactic fermentation was suppressed. It is made in the traditional method, spending 30 months on lees....

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.

92 points Vinous: "The 2020 Malbec 006, from Mainqué, Río Negro, was a third barrel-aged for a year. An intense purplish red. It presents attractive aromas of violets and plum with hints of mint and blackberry. The tannins are reactive and grippy but finely grained so that they combine well with the precise, juicy freshness to fill up the palate. Best left in the bottle for a while. (JH)" (12/2021) K&L Notes: The Rio Negro creates an oasis in the the Northern part of Patagonia. The windy, high and dry Pampas are an ideal location for viticulture. The s...

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.

On the nose there are notes of flint, honey, a little hazelnut and cashew nut underneath the flor-based aromas of white flowers and pear. In the mouth, however, it’s broad with a good, voluminous flow and a clove backdrop. Intense and creamy with a sustained layer of salinity, the stylistic acrobatics have opened up new possibilities for the varietal. (JH) "...

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.

The fruit is black, and the texture is ample, with the fat and silky tannins that are very typical of the zone's clay soils. This voluptuousness, however, is very nicely nuanced by the acidity that’s firm and juicy here and persistent until the end."

Vinous: "A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec (35%) made from 210 micro-productions whose end result is approved by Nicolás Catena. A kind of summation of a long history, the grapes come from specific parcels of vineyards that Catena planted in the Uco Valley and Luján. The results are breathtaking. Purple in the glass with garnet flecks, this wine delivers layers of aroma, beginning with black currant and moving on to intense, precise notes of lavender and mint along with hints of black tea, sage and cigar box.
