The fruit-driven, light and fresh 2022 Malbec is young and vibrant with a bright ruby color and a nose of red berries and violets, which is attractive. It's juicy and tasty, with a serious dry finish

The opening notes of toasted herbs and spiced chocolate suggest a rich and dark version, yet the core of this red shows pure raspberry and cherry flavors. A nice layer of minerally freshness underneath drives the finish around precise tannins. Drink now through 2034.

Floral nose with plenty of violet, morello cherries, dried oregano and thyme-like herbs. Fleshy, flavorful dark cherry fruit and wild herbs to the palate followed by a fruity, firm finish. Juicy and generous with a medium to full body. Drink now

The berry and floral character comes through clearly on the nose and palate with a medium body, a medium-tannin backbone and a dark-walnut aftertaste.

Deep violet in color. Intense aromas of red and black fruits. Light-bodied and fruity.

Winemaker Notes:

"Opens with intense aromas of blackberry, plum and a hint of mocha. Dark fruit flavors intertwine with notes of spice, licorice and chocolate to create a magnificent, full-bodied Malbec. Round tannins and a plush mouthfeel lead the way to a long, velvety finish."

After primary fermentation, this wine underwent malolactic fermentation to create a smooth, round mouthfeel. Seven months of oak influence imparted subtle brown spice notes.

There's an alluring, wild quality to this red, with chaparral and mountain herb notes up front. In contrast, olive, peppercorn and fresh leather accents chime in to join the concentrated core of plum and berry flavors, which lengthen nicely around fresh acidity before finishing smooth, with a lingering herbal element. Drink now through 2040.

The 2020 Malbec Pyros Appellation emerges from the Pedernal Valley in San Juan. Purple in hue, its aromas feature ripe black fruit, plum and cherry, complemented by wild herbs and chamomile. Dry and rich, it offers taut, fine-grained tannins and a supple texture on the palate, lingering long on its black fruit notes.

Winemaker Notes:
"Violet-intense purple, concentrated and bright. A complex nose with varietals notes of ripe fruits, figs. prunes, jam and raisins. A good body, with sweet tannins and well balanced by acidity. A lingering and complex finish."

The review is on the previous vintage.

92 points Wine Spectator
This stands out for its expressive, elegant bouquet of citrus blossoms, guava and red currant—flavors that are equally engaging and fresh on the palate, picking up mineral details and lingering nicely around polished tannins. Drink now.

Such a beautiful, fresh nose with tons of wild herbs, thyme, rosemary, sour cherries and flowers. Very linear and bright on the palate, charged with silky, fine-grained tannins and fine austerity. You can literally smell the herbs and the wild flowers from the vineyard. Pristine but intense and so fresh and precise. Pure fruit! Insane value for a $20 bottle. Drink now.
