| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nBright and intense in color with beautiful aromas of blackberries, red fruits and exotic floral notes, this wine delivers aromatics that entice the senses. A full lush entry of ripe and rich black fruit surrounds spiced oak notes and hints of pepper. Fresh acidity supports big, bold tannins and wonderful complexity.\r\nColom\u00e9 has the highest vineyards in the world. Higher altitudes offer much more sun, much less Uv protection and produce a thicker skinned grape that delivers a more robust taste with fresh acidity to support it. Enjoyable upon release, this Estate Malbec will continue to reward with cellaring for several years.\r\nJames Suckling 92 Points\r\nWine Enthusiast 92 Points\r\nRobert Parker 91 Points\r\nAbout Bodega Colome\u00a0\r\nBodega Colom\u00e9 was founded in 1831, probably by the Spanish Governor of Salta, Nicol\u00e1s Severo de Isasmendi y Echalar. In 1854, his daughter Ascensi\u00f3n, who married to Jos\u00e9 Benjam\u00edn D\u00e1valos, brought the first French pre-phylloxera Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon vines to Colom\u00e9. Grapes from three vineyards, planted in that year, are still used in the production of Colom\u00e9 Reserva wines. Colom\u00e9 Estate belonged to Isasmendi-D\u00e1valos families along 170 years. Donald Hess acquired it in 2001.\r\nDonald and Ursula Hess first visited the Calchaqu\u00ed Valleys in 1998. They were searching for the perfect terroir and the ideal weather to produce truly unique Argentinean wines. What they discovered here was beyond their expectations: they actually found their second home. The grandeur and natural beauty of Colom\u00e9 inspired and rejuvenated them. In 2001, they purchased Colom\u00e9. Since then, they created the recent history of Colom\u00e9, the richest in achievements and developments, both for Winery and the people of Colom\u00e9.\r\nTheir vision includes social responsibility towards the people of Colom\u00e9. Hess family contributed to the building of the village community centre and the church, and to the betterment of the school and the community housing. Nowadays, Colom\u00e9 is the source of employment and income for most of the village inhabitants.\r\nToday, Colom\u00e9 Winery is a model winery producing quality premium wines in Argentina. Every year, it produces over half a million litres of wine and exports its wines to over 40 countries around the world.\r\n \r\n\r\n |
