Wine Reviews

The 2024 Terroir Selection Malbec provides a lovely overview of Mendoza, produced from vines spanning Campo Los Andes and El Cepillo in Uco Valley and Luján de Cuyo’s Las Compuertas. It ratchets up the weight and saturation from the introductory wines, wafting from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of resinous herbs, purple flowers and graphite. It is silky, suave and refined in the mouth, closing with a chalky finish that lingers with fine-grained tannins and discreet richness.

It leads with a distinctly spice-driven bouquet of incense, cracked pepper and dried herbs. The palate is silky, racy and elegant before concluding with a powerful, rich and creamy finish. This is a lovely and exotic counterpoint to the Terroir Selection Malbec bottling from Mendoza.

Combining fruit from Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley, the 2022 Terroir Selection Malbec introduces itself with a soft, dark-toned bouquet of black plums, mocha, graphite and a creamy undertone. The palate echoes this with a rich, velvety texture and closes with a decadent, slow-moving finish.

Made with grapes from the producer’s vineyards in the Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo, this blend of Malbec opens with aromatic notes of blackberries. The juicy, fruit-driven palate features dark fruit and saline hints, backed by focused acidity that lengthens the flavors. It’s full-bodied and fresh.

This shows aromas of bramble berries, chocolate and subtle violets. The palate is full-bodied, well sculpted and vibrant, with fine-grained tannins. This a blend from four single vineyards in Valle de Uco and Lujan de Cuyo.
