Vinous 94:
The 2020 Malbec Gran Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was aged for 12 months in a fifth new barrels. Purple in the glass. The nose offers cedar and plum with notes of cherry and jam. In the mouth, it has good concentration, an expansive feel and shapely muscles in a well-defined, classical style. This red fills the mouth and stretches out the flavors with a striking sense of place. Drinkers will note this, especially in the athletic character.
Deschorchados 94, too:
Fabre Montmayou has one of the most important heritages in old Mendoza vineyards, it is about old vines planted towards the beginning of the 20th century in Vistalba, surrounding its winery and on the north bank of the Mendoza River. From a selection of this material, he obtains the grapes for this malbec with deep flavors, soft tannins, balanced in all its aspects and full of fruit and flowers. A little lesson on what a malbec from the so-called first zone should be, the historical zone of Mendoza's cabernet.
Where else can you get a top-rated world class wine like this, from 112-year-old, organically farmed, ungrafted vines for less than $20?
And that’s not just a rhetorical question: We are the only place anywhere you can get THIS under $20.
And the only place you can get the even greater Fabre Pretty Malbec at all!
