Bodega Renacer - Wine & Spirits	Punto Final Malbec Reserva	2017	90	Oct-2020
Review “From the Los Patos Vineyard in Perdreil, planted in 1918, this blends sweet strawberry flavors with notes of woodruff, cedar and forest-floor funk in a satisfyingly complex express of malbec.”
Bodega Aleanna – El Enemigo - Wine & Spirits	Malbec	2017	91	Oct-2020
Review “Adrianna Catena joined forces with Alejandro Vigil, the head winemaker at Catena Zapata, to create this label in 2009. Their goal was to meld modern winemaking techniques with older traditions, like fermenting with ambient yeasts in cement tanks, as they did for a portion of this wine. The brightness and verve of the blend lasts past the smoke of the oak and brings a sense of freshness to the blackberry flavors. It’s modern but balanced, especially if there’s a double-cut pork chop on hand.”
Catena Zapata - Wine & Spirits	Catena Appellation La Consulta Malbec	2018	93	Oct-2020
Review “Winemaker Alejandro Vigil culls grapes from several vineyards in La Consulta for this wine, fermenting it in stainless steel tanks and aging it in French oak barrels. Smoky wood tones dominate at first, but with time in the glass, lush purple fruit takes over, violet scented and black-peppery. It’s also got grip, a vertical structure that contributes a feeling of coolness and clarity despite its opulence.”
Catena Zapata - Wine & Spirits	Catena Zapata Nicasia Vineyard Malbec	2018	95	Oct-2020
Review “Nicolas Catena planted this vineyard in La Consulta in 1996, with vines selected from his family’s 80-year-old Angelica Vineyard in Lunlunta. At 3,600 feet in altitude, Nicasia is considerably higher and cooler than Lunlunta (the average temperature is below 58˚F); the massal selection is planted on its own roots. Those vines yielded a fresh, concentrated wine in 2018: It’s super youthful, a jumble of red fruit, oak and spice right out of the bottle, bold and boisterous in its energy. As it takes on air in the glass, the wood tones melt into the fruit, the wine becoming more savory while the flavors keep juicing up—floral, herbal, smoky, earthy, salty. Fine tannins give it shape and hold the flavors fresh for days after the bottle is opened.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Spectator Insider	Catena Appellation Lunlunta Malbec	2018	91	Sep-2020
Review “Suave and well-spiced, with juicy richness to the zesty raspberry tart and plum pastry flavors, supported by medium-grained tannins. Chocolate and freshly ground nutmeg notes show on the finish.” (Value Pick of the Week)
Vinaceous - Wine Enthusiast	Voodoo Moon Malbec	2017	90	Jun-2020
Review “Just as in Bordeaux, Malbec in Margaret River is mostly blended away. It’s fun, therefore, to see this variety both on its own and drinking so deliciously. It offers an appealing combo of red berries, earthy spices, cloves, licorice and cedar, all wrapped into savory, taut tannins.”
Vinaceous - Wine Advocate	Voodoo Moon Malbec	2017	89	May-2020
Review “One of the few sub-$20 Malbecs I've found worth writing about, the 2017 Voodoo Moon Malbec has an extroverted nose of violets and purple berries. It's medium to full-bodied, juicy and fresh, with bold fruit flavors that carry through a gently tannic finish. No, it's not the most complex offering, but it offers a lot to like over the next few years.”
High Note - Tim Atkin, MW	Malbec	2018	87	May-2020

Tilia - Tim Atkin, MW	Malbec	2019	88	May-2020
Review
Bodega Renacer - Tim Atkin, MW	Renacer	2017	90	May-2020
Review “The pick of the current range from Renacer, this is an Uco Valley cuvée that uses fruit from the area’s two most famous sub-regions - Paraje Altamira and Gualtallary - and is compact, dense and assertively oaked for 24 months in new barrels. Plush and glossy, with lots of juicy raspberry and blackberry flavours and supporting acidity”
