2007 Luca Malbec
93 Points
Robert Parker Jr's "The Wine Advocate", December 2008
"It reveals an alluring nose of smoke, cedar, spice box, black cherry, and rose petal. Full-bodied on the palate, the wine is well-balanced, layered, and intense. There is enough silky tannin to support 2-3 years of additional bottle age. Drink this tasty Malbec from 2010 to 2018."

Wine Spectator Online, September 2008
"Really goes for the gusto, with dark fig sauce, melted purple licorice, mocha, fruitcake and crushed boysenberry and blueberry fruit all gliding along rich, velvety tannins. Long mouthfilling finish."
2006 Luca Malbec Notable Press Summary
2006 Luca Malbec
92 Points
Wine Spectator Online, June 2008
"Heady with raspberry and currant confiture aromas followed by a dense palate of warm fig sauce, crushed boysenberry, bramble, bittersweet ganache and Christmas pudding notes. Long powerful finish."

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, February 2008
"Good bright, full ruby. Pure aromas of blackberry, licorice and bitter chocolate; an essence of this variety. Juicy, bright and densely packed, with a powerful core of primary crushed black fruit flavor. Superconcentrated but quite suave. The very long finish features broad tannins."

Robert Parker Jr's "The Wine Advocate", December 2007
"The 2006 Malbec was aged for 12 months in 60% new French oak. Opaque purple, it has a splendid bouquet of smoke, toast, pencil lead, pepper, black cherry, and blackberry. Opulent and fruit froward on the palate, there are plenty of silky tannins lurking under the baby fat. Balanced, concentrated, ripe and thoroughly hedonistic, this classy Malbec will evolve for 5 - 7 years and provide pleasure through 2030. "
2005 Luca Malbec
90 Points
Wine Spectator Magazine, November 2007
"A big, broad, modern style, offering plush layers of fig cake, blackberry compote and currant paste, with dark cocoa, mocha and bacon notes. For fans of the hedonistic style!"
