Natalie's Score: 90/100

Smoky with charred black fruit. Honkin big and mouth-filling. Full-on palate whacker for grilled burgers and people who talk too loudly and ignore personal space.

Malbec food pairings: lamb burgers, grilled steaks, spicy sausage, breaded veal cutlets.

Reviews and Ratings

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Deep purple, with aromas of dried herbs and dried cherries, graphite, and smoked meat. The taste is dried plum and cherry with very fine grippy tannins. Perfect for prime rib.
"Kaiken" is a Mapuche Indian word for a Patagonian goose with a flight range on either side of the Andes. This is an appropriate for Kaiken Ultra since grape are sourced from several vineyards in the Tupungato area of Mendoza. - 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.
