Matt Steeves rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This boldly flavoured Malbec is sourced from high altitude vineyards planted over a kilometer above sea level throughout Las Compuertas and Paraje Altamira (Uco Valley) regions of Mendoza, Argentina, which contributes to this wine's refreshing and expressive characteristics. Jam packed with smoky and spicy dark fruits, plum, pepper, leather, and herbaceous notes, this value-priced Malbec displays great balance, with vivid texture and refreshing dark fruit persisting on the long finish. Enjoy with Asado grilled prime steak with sauteed peppers and ensalada criolla. Drink 2018-2025. Tasted April 2018. 91+ points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
John Masur WSET 3, Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Beautiful deep purple colour in this 100% Malbec wine grown at altitude. Full bodied flavours of plum, blackberry, and dark fruits together with soft tannins that coat the mouth. This lends a wonderful texture to the abundant fruit. This is a great BBQ wine that will be best with grilled meats.

Natalie's Review

Terrazas De Los Andes Reserve Malbec 2014, Argentina: A rich, luscious, full-bodied Argentine Malbec with classic aromas of fleshy ripe black plum and mulberry. A meaty, savoury mid-palate with a strong core of minerality. This Argentine red wine is made from Malbec grapes grown at the ideal altitude of 1,067 metres above sea level for the ripening and complex evolution of Malbec. Round, full-bodied and redolent of black fruit and toast. Some dark spice on the finish which is long and satisfying. Pair with a rare filet mignon. Drink: 2017-2022. 29280 14.50% XD 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 93/100. April 28, 2017 Best Value Red Wine. Best Beef Wine  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
