Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

From the Andeluna Winery, the Pasionado 2014 demonstrates brilliant savoir faire, using the king of grape of Mendoza, the one and only Malbec. The wine shows aromas of grape jam, sugarplum, sage, clay pot, vanilla and oak. Made from 100% Malbec, this Argentinean offers beautiful tannins and vibrant dark fruit flavors. Its seductive violet color and its overall quality will please any amateur of Argentinean Malbec. Palate: black raspberry, blueberry, cocoa, wild iris, cinnamon, baking spice and cedar. Solid wine. Enjoy!
Jane Staples rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

A very elegant Malbec, beautifully expressing the winemaking skill of Argentina's Mendoza region. Only produced in exceptional vintages. Opaque deep purple, with fragrant notes of plum, sweet spice, violet and desert wildflowers. Crafted from hand-harvested grapes, aged in French oak 12-18 months. Velvety texture, excellent structure and silky-satiny in the mouth. Beautiful violet and peppery notes on very long finish. A wonderful gift wine to enjoy with prime rib.
Tasted Nov. 2018

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.
