James Suckling : 95 Points

(3/24/2025) This has blackberries, asphalt, violets and subtle wood on the nose. The palate is angular, sharp and precise, with lots character, a touch of pepper and a focused finish. Drink now.

Vinous - Joaquin Hidalgo : 94 Points

(8/2025) The 2022 Malbec includes 10% Cabernet Franc from Uco Valley. This aged for 15 months in a mix of foudres (50%), barrels (25%) and tanks (25%). It opens with red fruit, fresh plum, soft herbs like chamomile and pennyroyal and a violet note. This is dry, smooth and fruit-forward, with fine tannins, juicy flow and a subtle, chalky texture. The 2022 is a modern Argentine style, with precision and mouthwatering fruit. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035.

Jeb Dunnuck : 94 Points

(5/22/2025) There's an inviting nose of pure plum fruit and fresh cherry in the 2022 Malbec, which shows lovely balance and a supple, smooth texture. It has a kick of power around its medium-bodied frame that never overwhelms but makes for a lengthy finish of memorable spice and herb. Enjoy through 2032. Maturity: 2025 - 2032.

Wine Advocate : 92 Points

(5/1/2025) The 2022 Malbec hails from Adrianna Vineyard, contains 10% Cabernet Franc and was fermented entirely whole clusters before maturing for 15 months in foudre, tank and barrel. The bouquet starts with a poised interplay between herbal and floral elements, with a core of black fruits, followed by a rich, fluid and seamless palate. It concludes with an intensely savory, earth-tinged finish framed with grippy, refined tannins. Drink Date 2024 - 2030.
