Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This Malbec is so smooth and full of flavour! Aromas of blackberry and blueberry, along with hints of dried herbs and warm spicy notes. Full bodied on the palate, with soft, drying tannins and medium+ acidity. Fruit flavours are plush and ripe, and there are notes of cedar, smoke, and spice on the palate and the lengthy finish as well. Enjoy with any roasted or grilled meats.
Trapiche Gran Medalla 2017 Malbec is outstanding. So smooth with a mouthful of blackberry, blueberry, cedar brush, smoky and spicy with a long, smooth and silky finish. Tannins are structured and grippy. So good now and will continue to evolve and mellow out over the next year or two. Drink or hold. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
