Rubbery and muddled at first, then more clarity arises with airing. The palate is firm, rather lean and acidic, with angular berry and cassis flavors. Finishes on the sharp side, with snappy, pointed acidity and crispness. ——M.S.(3/1/2011)—— 84

The 2007 Malbec was aged for nine months in seasoned French and American oak. It exhibits an enticing perfume of cedar, earth notes, black cherry, and black raspberry. On the palate it is medium-bodied with excellent depth of flavor, plenty of spicy fruit, and a lengthy, fruit filled finish. Drink this outstanding value over the next four years.
