The 2009 Orzada Malbec contains 10% Syrah in its makeup and spent 15 months in 79% new French and American oak. Hints of game, balsamic, cherry cola, and assorted black fruits set the stage for a spicy, plush, full-bodied wine that deftly conceals enough fine-grained tannin to evolve for another 2-3 years. Drink this outstanding value from 2013 to 2021. Importer: Select Fine Wine, Traverse City, MI; tel. (231) 932-9057

Toasty, minty and sweet smelling. The palate is dark, full and choppy feeling, with cola, coconut, mint, blackberry and cassis flavors. There’s good power and depth to this Malbec; a bit rough and herbal at the finish line. ——M.S.(12/1/2011)—— 88
