Reviews and Ratings

Astrid Young - Sommelier ISG CAPS rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Straightforward fruit up front, black plums and a hint of licorice. Fresh and juicy on the midpalate, inviting another indulgence. Deep and dark, with hints of dark chocolate, mocha and espresso, without the bitterness. muted acidity perfectly carries the flavors into the finish, which is long and sultry, shows a hint of mineral and leather. Roast beef or a leg of lamb seem like the right things to do.
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Holy fruit! Jammy black cherry, black plums, cassis, licorice, leather, and a hint of graphite. Pretty smooth tannins and a long luscious finish. This wine turned out to be pretty bold at an amazing price point. Pair with rare steaks, elk medallions or lamb.
Nick Onischuk - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

La Posta Angel Palucci Vineyard Malbec 2013 is amazing! Features dark cherry, plum, oak and spice. If you love Malbec, you will love this one! Tasted November 2016 (90/100)
Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Ripe, raisiny dark fruit and smokey leather; quite smooth and full-bodied with a nice, chewy, lingering finish. Good value at this price. Must try it with rich beef stew or braised brisket.
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Blackberry, earth, and a touch of vegetal aromas. Similar taste, with a nice tartness. A good lamb wine.
Mary Anne van Gaal rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

This Argentinian Malbec is made by an Italian raised winemaker. The nose is greeted with aromas of raspberry and cherry. Sharp spice flavours linger in the mouth. This wine would be great paired with grilled meat and heavy pasta dishes.
