Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is a very exciting Malbec, featuring cassis, plum, black cherry, violets, semi-sweet chocolate and dried tobacco. There's an underlying fruitcake element that lurks beneath but whether it reveals itself over time is yet to be determined. Still needs to come together but a nice drip. Serve with bison ribeye. 91 Points.
From the CalchaquĆ­ Valley El Esteco is a juicy, richly layered Malbec with dark berry, plum, sweet tobacco leaf, raisiny and mocha flavours on the palate. Enjoy now and for the next five years as it evolves into a better sum of its parts. Pair with grilled lamb chops. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
