The 2009 Malbec Reserva also spent 13 months in French oak. Wood smoke, pencil lead, pepper, incense, black cherry, and blueberry scents inform the nose of an easygoing, succulent, uncomplicated Malbec that could have used a bit more concentration. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. Casarena’s consulting winemaker is the peripatetic Michel Rolland. Aside from a standard quality 2010 Sauvignon Blanc, this is a first-class set of wines.Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (866) 57-STARZ; fax (714) 892-6930; www.southernstarz.com
