Winemaker Sven Bruchfeld has stepped up his Malbec game with this wine. The nose is jammy and full of cassis, blackberry, leather and a whiff of fine aged cheese. It feels lush and dense, with powerful, driving flavors of blackberry, dark plum, spice and herb. It’s big but not punishing on the slightly minty finish. Drink now–2015. — (12/1/2012) —91

Very sweet and lush on the nose, and teetering on overripe due to prune and raisin aromas. The palate, meanwhile, is more narrow than you might expect, with big tannins and extract. Tastes of black plum, blackberry and herbal notes. A ripe, loud wine that’s a little clumsy but definitely big and fruity. 200 cases made.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 88
