Mendoza Argentina
Robert Parker 91
"The entry-level 2007 Malbec (a blend of four vineyards) delivers a superb bouquet of pain grille, mineral, floral notes, and black cherry. This leads to an impeccably balanced wine with a sleek palate feel, serious depth, succulent flavors, and a lengthy finish. It will evolve for several years but can be enjoyed now.
In a brief period of time, Achaval Ferrer has become one of Argentina’s benchmark wineries. A visit to the winery in April 2008 was eye-opening. They export 85% of their production, 40% to the USA. The newest releases will not disappoint."
Wine Spectator 91
"Rich, with delicious raspberry and macerated current fruit enlivened by a strong violet aroma and piercing mineral streak long, dark, juicy finish is very vivid and racy."
