| Description: | 92 pts Wine Advocate Nov 2022 The 2020 Terroir Selection Malbec blends grapes from their vineyards in different subzones of Mendoza. This time, 25% of the grapes come from the Albaneve Vineyard (Campo de los Andes, Valle de Uco), 20% come from the Temis Vineyard (El Cepillo, Valle de Uco), 30% from the Azamor Vineyard (Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo) and 25% from the Alizarine Vineyard (Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo), so it's 45% Valle de Uco and 55% Luján. It fermented in small concrete vats and matured in French oak barrels for 12 months. It's ripe and balanced with 14.5% alcohol and has very good grip, polished tannins and ripe primary flavors with the oak neatly integrated. 84,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2022. 92 pts James Suckling March 2023 A juicy malbec with a smoky edge to the blue and purple fruit. Round and juicy on the palate with plenty of grippy tannins. Good mid-palate fluidity and juiciness. Better in 2025. |
