Natalie's Score: 91/100

A robust red with great depth and complexity at an excellent price point. The grapes for this red are grown in the the San Carlos region in the Uco Valley. Syrah add so much character to this blend with fleshy blackberries and cherries. It's full-bodied, balanced and smooth. Perfect for barbecues.

Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Good Malbec, great price. The dark fruit, warm spice, and new wood pair very well with red meat and hard cheeses. 88 Points. (ottawawinejournal.com)
Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Dark purple color, almost black.

Beautiful nose of blackberry, black cherry, violet and black pepper.

The tannin are strutured.
That's a full-bodied wine and the finish is long.

Try it with a rack of lamb.

Serve it at 15-17 degrees.

Can be aged 5-6 years.
