Mendoza, Argentina — Malbec by Belasco De Baquedano Winery

90 points. “Aromas of pain grille, scorched earth, black cherry and black currant. A medium-bodied, silky Malbec revealing both depth and elegance. It will evolve for 2-4 years and provide pleasure through 2020.”
Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, December 2007

Silver Bacchus
Bacchus International Wine Competition, Spain, 2008

Bronze Medal
Challenge International du Vin in Bordeaux, France, 2008

88 points. “Bright ruby-red. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, licorice and violet, plus whiffs of leather and bitter chocolate. Pliant, juicy and stylish, with moderate concentration and an attractive restrained sweetness. Finishes classically dry and persistent, with rather suave tannins.”
Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar, December 2007

87 points. “Cedar, pencil lead, black cherry and plum. Medium-bodied and firm on the palate, it offers ripe flavors and good balance. It will develop in the bottle for 2-3 years and drink well through 2015.”
