93 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2011

($40; a blend of 50% malbec, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc) Bright, deep red. Liqueur-like aromas and flavors of cassis, black cherry, licorice, violet and chocolate mint. Creamy-sweet, lush and voluminous, with an utterly seamless, fine-grained texture giving this wine uncommon suavity for a red blend from Argentina. Boasts lovely sweetness of fruit but also a firm spine and good mineral grip on the aftertaste. Really saturates the mouth with flavor. (Paul Hobbs Imports, Sebastopol, CA)
