A delicious, super easy-to-drink, Malbec that marries gutsy flavors with an elegant, silky, texture. The fruit tends toward black cherry and raspberry with dashes of baking spice and hints of grilled meat. On the long, easy, finish boysenberry and chocolate notes emerge. Rock solid wine.
“Saturated ruby-red. The nose offers more lift than the Cocina blend: blackberry, spices, licorice and bitter chocolate. Then similarly lively and delineated on the palate, but with good volume as well to the flavors of dark berries and bitter chocolate. Finishes with sweet tannins and very good length.”International Wine Cellar 89 points
“The 2008 Cocina Malbec spent 10 months in 20% new French and American oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it has a perfume of cedar, spice box, lavender, and black cherry. This is followed by a medium-bodied Malbec with an elegant personality. It has a silky texture, ripe flavors, good density and grip, and a lengthy finish. Drink it through 2016.”Wine Advocate 89 points
