Natalie's Score: 89/100

A vibrant and juicy, medium-bodied Malbec with ripe dark cherry, plum and grilled herbs finishing smooth on the palate. Tannins are firm and there is good food-friendly acidity. Pair with grilled meats.

Malbec food pairings: lamb shanks in red wine and roasted garlic, grilled lamb lollipops, stuffed lamb tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

Love this smooth Malbec from the Uco Valley, Mendoza wine region. The Malbec wine grapes for Salentein Reserve 2018 were aged in previous-use oak barrels for 12 months. Dry, medium-bodied, juicy and ripe with bright ripe red berry, plum and blue florals on the palate. Nicely done! - 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.
