This shows finesse with blueberry, mineral and blackberry character. Medium to full body, bright acidity and a tangy citrus finish. A balanced and drink-me-know malbec.

90 pts Stephen Tanzer’s IWC (ST):
Bright ruby-red. Sexy aromas of cassis, licorice, spices and nutty oak. Ripe, lush and glyceral, offering a lovely balance of sweetness and acidity. Concentrated dark berry, mocha, fig and bitter chocolate flavors show good medicinal reserve on the back end but this wine is balanced and accessible from the outset. Finishes with ripe, firm, building tannins, a touch of minerality and excellent carry-through. — Stephen Tanzer

There is quite a jump in quality form the Paso de Piedra to the 2012 Las Compuertas Malbec, which is an old-vine selection from the same vineyards in Las Compuertas. It fermented in stainless steel and aged for 12 months in used barrels. The nose is clean and quite aromatic with sweet fruit, notes of pollen and beeswax with some sweet spices. The quite balanced palate is soft, with textbook glossy tannins that make it go down your throat like silk.
