93 Points - The Tasting Panel:

"Sourced from vineyards in the Valle de Uco and Luján de Cuyo appellations, this wine is juicy, ripe, and ready. Black cherry, violets, and rhubarb exhibit a seamless flow across the palate. The fruit is fresh and vibrant, with brightening acidity." (July 2025)

93 Points - James Suckling:

"Made from 100% Valle de Uco grapes, this affordable wine offers generous, spicy flavors and a slightly chewy texture of moderate tannins. The aromas are packed with cumin, black pepper and coriander and the flavors reveal blackberries, thyme and violets. Balanced, fun and and easy to drink now." (Mar 2024)
