Wine & Spirits 93 Points - This wine sets the bar for the coastal vineyards of Uruguay with its dark-skinned beauty, its fresh purple plum and lively red berry flavors over the pencil-shaving notes of the tannins. Grown in the coastal hills, in decomposed granite, this is a New-World floral essence of a French-Atlantic grape. There’s a thin, high wall of tannins to surround all the bright fruit.

“The 2022 Malbec Appellation La Consulta comes from old vines planted in San Carlos, Uco Valley. Aged for up to 13 months in French oak barrels (one-third new), this purple-red wine reveals ripe fruit aromas of plum marmalade and violets, with a hint of white pepper. On the palate, it is dry, rich and creamy, with plush tannins and a juicy texture that lingers with a lasting, flavorful...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 93 Points - The incredible 2019 Appellation San Carlos Cabernet Franc is super elegant, fresh, varietal, nuanced and complex. A wine like this often costs more money than the price point of the appellation range, but it feels like a bargain anyway. This is an updated version of the 2018, with precision and symmetry. It's vibrant and lively, velvety and focused.

Very nice pear and gentle apricot fruit on the nose with nuances of early summer blossom, but it is quite clean and crisp, without too much buttery character. On the palate this is essence of Viognier, with a full, sweet-edged palate of very ripe pear fruit running through to a juicy nectarine and peachy character, with a crisp, clear mid-palate and enough acidity to keep it fresh. Crowd-pleasing...

92 pts. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "They have had a parral vineyard rented in Tolombón to produce the only wine not from Mendoza, and that vineyard has always been used for this wine. The 2022 Serie A Torrontés is from a "normal" and classical vintage there, despite being a completely different world from Mendoza. The wine has a moderate 13.3% alcohol and a low pH, denoting freshness and...
