2008 Achaval Ferrer Malbec Mendoza
91 pts(WA)The 2008 Malbec spent 9 months in French oak before bottling without
fining or filtration. It is a glass-coating opaque purple with a
bouquet of toast, violets, spice box, black cherry, and plum.
Smooth-textured and sweetly fruited, it has excellent depth, savory
flavors, and a lengthy finish. In our current economy, this is an ideal
steak house wine.
In a brief period of
time, Achaval Ferrer has become one of Argentina’s benchmark wineries.
A visit to the winery in April 2008 was eye-opening. They export 85% of
their production, 40% to the USA. The newest releases will not
disappoint. Jay Miller Wine Advocate # 184 Aug 2009
91pts(WS)Really vivid, with plum and fig notes laced with a bright violet hint.
The lingering finish lets raspberry and pastis notes chime in. Fleshy
and concentrated, but pure, with mouthwatering acidity. Drink now
through 2010. 4,000 cases imported. –James Molesworth July 31, 2009
