2023 Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina (750ml)
WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The 2023 Malbec Reserva Terrazas de los Andes, made from grapes from Uco and Luján de Cuyo, is a modern red for the category. Partially aged in barrels for up to a month, it presents a fruity aroma with an appealing cherry note and a backdrop of flowers and balsamic herbs. Dry and juicy, with a soft, slender mouthfeel, the 2023 is more thirst-quenching than it is structured.
- Vinous, 92 pts.
The 2023 Malbec Reserva is well-made and sanguine in tart red fruit and a bite of white plum. The pillowy tannins support lengthy, medium-bodied richness and leathery earth, with the structure to go another 10-12 years.
- Jeb Dunnuck, 90 pts.
A charming style, showing details of citrus blossoms, guava and huckleberry, with traces of fresh herbs and cassis that linger in the background. Subtle minerality and fresh acidity nudge the core flavors onto the polished finish.
