The 2021 Pizzella Malbec is ripe without excess and shows more black than red fruit, and it’s juicy and velvety, dense and with fine tannins. It has a touch of vanilla that makes it very attractive and pleasant. (Luis Gutiérrez)

Aromatic herbs blend with berries on the inviting nose. The same notes repeat on the palate of this medium-bodied red. The grapes are sourced from Altamira in Uco Valley giving this wine bright acidity and a mineral texture. (Jesica Vargas)
VN8888 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2022
The 2021 Malbec La Posta Pizzella from Tupungato, Uco Valley was 50% aged in used barrels. Purple in hue. The nose presents notes of plum, hints of herbs and aromas from the aging process. Offering good value for money, it’s indulgent and expansive in the mouth with gentle tannins, coming out sweeter than in previous years. (Joaquín Hidalgo)

Where It's From

Region / Mendoza

View more wines from Mendoza

Mendoza is Argentina's biggest wine region, and with a footprint that spans a diverse geography, it's able to produce a wide array of wines. Chief amongst them are Argentina's ever-popular Malbecs, but you'll also find world-class Cabernet Sauvignons, Chardonnays, and more produced here. The geography is diverse, but tends to be mountainous, and the higher elevations play a sizable role in grape growing, providing cooler temperatures at night.

Country / Argentina

View more wines from Argentina

Argentina took the wine world spotlight in the late 20th century with its plush, smooth Malbec. While the popular red grape still reigns supreme, Argentine wineries are increasingly putting forth excellent examples of multiple varietals, all at the extraordinary bargains that make this region so accessible.

Now the fifth largest wine-producing nation in the world, Argentina enjoys high-altitude and low-humidity vineyard sites, comparatively unencumbered by insects and disease. Argentina’s unique terroir has captured the interest of such internationally celebrated winemakers as Paul Hobbs and Michel Rolland, both of whom have projects in the country.

There’s better integration of the oak and better balance, harmony and elegance in the 2021 Privada Family Blend. It was produced with 40% Malbec and 30% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from vineyards in Luján de Cuyo. It feels very integrated, with each variety adding aromas and flavors and coming through as complex and powerful. This has to be one of the finest vintages for this bottling. Maybe they used less new barrels… 220,000 bottles produced. (Luis Gutiérrez)

Bright and racy red with black plums, cherries, fresh blackberries, violets and some dark spices. Medium-bodied and crunchy, imbued with juicy fruit and smooth tannins. Delicious food-wine, showing drinkability. Not quite complex, but you want to drink a whole glass. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap. (James Suckling)

The 2021 Reserva Malbec Cabernet Franc has the backbone and tannic structure of the 30% Cabernet Franc that complements neatly the Malbec and especially for this kind of Malbec, which doesn’t have the mineral backbone of the higher ranges (especially in their Zuccardi project). This excels for 2021. 100,000 bottles. (Luis Gutiérrez)
JS9191 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, May 3, 2022
Notes of black cherries and dark berries, plums, lavender, lemon zest, hazelnuts and tobacco leaves. It’s medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Vibrant, fruity and gently peppery with a fresh, succulent finish. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)

The 2021 Malbec Single Vineyard Organic from El Cepillo, Uco Valley is purple in the glass. It has a fragrant, expressive nose highlighting fresh plum, raspberry, hoppy and grapefruit notes along with mint and violet aromas. In the mouth, it’s bold and juicy with a taut profile and well-defined, long-lasting flavor. A pleasantly modern red. (Joaquín Hidalgo)
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Nov 2022
The 2021 Escorihuela 1884 Single Vineyard Organic Grapes Malbec comes from their organic and biodynamic vineyard in El Cepillo in San Carlos (Valle de Uco), where they work organically and biodynamically and try to express the variety and place in a pure way with no oak in the wine. It has 13.1% alcohol and mellow acidity. It feels young and has some puppy fat to be rendered by some time in bottle, as I have seen while tasting the 2015 and 2018 next to it. It’s an unoaked Malbec of great purity and balance, juicy and primary now, but it will develop further complexity and nuance with a bit more time. 40,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2021. (Luis Gutiérrez)

The 2021 Malbec The Apple Doesn’t fall Far From The Tree is a blend of grapes from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley and Perdriel in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza and was fermented with native yeasts. Purple in the glass. The compelling, pure nose presents notes of violet and lavender with fresh plum and hints of herbs. The easygoing palate is fresh and juicy with refined tannins and a fluid, flavorful flow. An inviting, easy drinking red. (Joaquín Hidalgo)

From Luján du Cuyo, the 2021 Malbec De Sangre was aged for 12 months in used barrels. Intense purple color in the glass. The nose presents violets, fresh plum, balsamic notes, white pepper, hints of oak, black tea and a whiff of grapefruit. Plush and broad with fruity flavor and voluminous, polished tannins. The texture is velvety before the long, fruity finish. (Joaquín Hidalgo)

This has a toasty character with notes of ripe plums and cherries as well as sweet spices, hazelnuts and grilled herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with plush, creamy tannins and rich core of dark fruit and spices. Rich and mellow finish. Drink now. (James Suckling)
SP9090 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 15, 2023
Abundantly spiced and layered with floral and savory thyme details that join a juicy blackberry and plum core, which fans out nicely around chiseled tannins and a note of hibiscus. Drink now through 2028. 1,000 cases imported. (Aaron Romano)

WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2023
The attractive nose displays aromas of both flowers and berries. It is full bodied, with layers of cherry and blackberry on a smooth palate. Hints of coffee add to its moderate complexity. This is a good example of the Bonarda grape: fruity and enjoyable. (Jesica Vargas)
