What to Expect

Argentina, and in particular the region around Mendoza, is making a name for itself as the source of some of the finest expressions of Malbec ever made. In this warm, yet dry climate the Malbec achieves near perfect ripeness endowing the wines with a velvety texture and intense flavors of blackberry, peppery spice, and balsamic herbs. The cooler, well-drained slopes of the hillsides of the region have proven to be ideally suited for Malbec, allowing for the wines to achieve a level of complexity and harmony that rivals those of Napa or Bordeaux.

Winemakers Notes

VINTAGE
Conditions were optimal throughout the 2004 growing season. Rain in early spring followed by cool, dry conditions resulted in an even crop set. The fruit ripened over a summer or warm days balanced by cool evening temperatures. Rain late in the season read more...

This is a nice wine but not at 140.00. There are many, many Mendoza Malbecs for a fraction of this price that are as good or better. Despite RP's view, this is not a 96 point wine, sorry.

Massive wine, broad shuoldered and complex. One of the best malbecs I have tasted.
The 2004 is still very young (as of mid 08). As it opens in the glass, the minerality gives way to a universe of red fruits, spices and cedar notes. Dark as ink and with a structure that is almosy impenetrable, the layers keep unfolding one by one,
I can't wait to drink this wine 4-5 years from now, if I can hold it!
