Natalie's Score: 95/100

Another hit from Versado! Owner and winemaking consultant Peter Gamble and Ann Sperling, and chief winemaker Roberto de la Mota have created a blockbuster Argentine red for the 2013 vintage. Made from the iconic Malbec grape, this wine underwent a spontaneous fermentation, rather than one induced by the winemaker with specific yeasts. The wine was aged in oak barrels. This is another gorgeous red wine from Versado - this wine and these winemakers perform consistently well every year. Aromas of fleshy black fruit, dried herbs, spices and pepper. Pair with grilled lamb or braised beef.

Malbec food pairings: roasted veal, hearty soups, roasted duck breast, hamburger.

Densely concentrated, inky, dry. Dark plum, cassis, baking spice, black pepper, earthy minerality. Pairs well with braised or BBQ red meats. Tasted 2013 vintage in April 2018. 93 points

From the Mendoza, Versado Reserva Ancient (2013) Malbec is another spectacular Malbec from Versado. Owner and winemaking consultant Peter Gamble and Ann Sperling, and chief winemaker Roberto de la Mota have created a blockbuster Argentine red for the 2013 vintage. Consistent with fleshy black fruit, dried herbs, spices and pepper flavours on the palate. Great acidity for food and pairs well with braised or BBQ red meats. - Community Wine Reviews
