Notes | |||
"Bright and intense in color with beautiful aromas of blackberries, red fruits and exotic floral notes, this wine delivers aromatics that entice the senses. A full lush entry of ripe and rich black fruit surrounds spiced oak notes and hints of pepper. Fresh acidity supports big, bold tannins and wonderful complexity." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Colomé Estate wines are growing more and more stylish and precise. One of the keys was the addition of an optical grape selector that allows winemakers to discard the dehydrated grapes. The 2019 vintage of the Malbec Estate is thus much fruitier with ripe plum and cherry over balsamic, herbal notes and a touch of sunny Calchaquí syrup. Both concentrated and juicy, the firm tannins sculpt the good volume and keep the energy in check, ensuring that it’s merely sprightly in contrast to the booming power of previous vintages. As pure and primary as ever but now with greater elegance." —Vinous "The 2019 Estate Malbec mixes grapes from the different altitudes where they have vineyards: 1,800, 2,300, 2,600 and 3,111 meters! It's ripe at 14.9% alcohol, perhaps because of the heat wave in March, and the wine is primary and a bit heady, with varietal notes of decayed violets, raspberries and some spice. It has abundant, slightly grainy tannins and a dry finish. 280,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020." —Wine Advocate |
