Achaval Ferrer Malbec 2021 750ml

91 PTS ROBERT PARKERS WINE ADVOCATE The juicy and fruit-driven 2021 Malbec comes from all the different zones: 60% from Lujn, 30% from Vallede Uco and 10% from eastern Mendoza, and the Lujn part gave it a floral touch, making it aromatic, rich, classical Mendoza with 25% of the volume kept in concrete and the rest in neutral and well-seasoned 160- and 225-liter oak barrels for eight months. This represents around 60% of the volume of the winery and is their entry-level wine. It’s ripe at 14.5% alcohol and has good acidity and freshness.

93 PTS – JAMES SUCKLING – “Plenty of fruit on the nose with a nice reductive and peppery edge. Dark cherries and strawberries with spiced plums and violets. Firm, flavorful and medium- to full-bodied on the palate with tight, fine-grained tannins. Fresh, fruit-oriented finish.”
