Wine Advocate 92 points – The 2017 Appellation Lunlunta Malbec is from a slightly riper year and has higher alcohol and a little less acidity. But the wine keeps its poise and harmony, showing very classical, perfumed and with volume. Power and elegance. 34,800 bottles were filled after 12 months in oak barrels..June 2018
Vinous 90 points – Bright medium ruby-red. Slightly roasted aromas of black raspberry, licorice, and spices, plus a hint of dark chocolate. Boasts lovely sweetness and texture but a firm spine of acidity and a floral quality nicely lift the wine’s berry flavors. Finishes uncompromisingly dry, with firm but well-supported tannins and lingering hints of leather, curry powder, and saffron. This should expand in the bottle over the next couple of years…July 2018
Wine Spectator 90 points – Crisp, with fresh-crushed cherry and raspberry flavors, matched to lively minerality. Peppery accents show on the svelte finish. Drink now through 2023. 7,500 cases made..December 2019
