Bodega Aleanna – El Enemigo - Wine Spectator	Malbec	2016	90	Dec-2019
Review “Elegant, with hot stone notes accenting the pure-tasting dried red fruit flavors. Details of underbrush emerge on the focused finish, showing some tarry hints.”

Catena Zapata - Wine Spectator	Catena Appellation La Consulta Malbec	2017	91	Nov-2019
Review “Features fine-edged macerated raspberry, cherry and red plum flavors, accented by notes of hot stone. Freshly ground coffee and spice details show on the tannic finish.”
Catena Zapata - WINEANORAK.COM	Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino	2015	95	Nov-2019
Review “With a grand label depicting the history of Malbec, this shows rich, dense, bold blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. It’s compact with good structure. Vivid, with hints of tar and spice, and showing lovely depth. Concentrated and tannic, but nicely balanced, showing sleek fruit.”
Catena Zapata - Jamessuckling.com	Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard River Stones Malbec	2017	100	Nov-2019
Review “Incredible aromas of blackberries, hot stones, wet earth and flowers. Full-bodied, it floats across the palate with ultra-fine tannins that melt into the wine. Superb, long finish of subtle fruit and terroir-defined subtleties. Try in 2022, but already a dream to taste.” (#37)
Bodega Renacer - Wine Advocate	Punto Final Malbec Reserva	2016	88	Oct-2019
Review “In the 2016 Punto Final Reserva Malbec, I found a lot less oak and better balance than in previous years. It's a lightly oaked cuvée produced with grapes from different parts of Mendoza. It has moderate alcohol and a fruit-driven, simple and straightforward palate.”
Bodega Renacer - Wine Advocate			90	Oct-2019
Review “The 2015 Malbec, the top bottling, still shows some oak, but nothing compared with previous years. It's spicy and floral, with moderate acidity. As seemed the case this year with all the wines I tasted, this is lacking some concentration in the palate, where the tannins from the oak (yes, it still matured in oak barrels, but they should have used a small percentage of new ones) feel a bit detached. But the wine has gained in drinkability compared with previous vintages.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Advocate			90+	Oct-2019
Review “The very primary and fruit-driven 2018 Appellation La Consulta Malbec revealed a varietal personality—juicy, with some of the chalky texture of the stony soils. Easy and juicy.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Advocate			91+	Oct-2019
Review “2018 seems like a very good year for young and juicy reds, which is what the 2018 Catena Malbec is, a pure varietal that shows the typicity of the grape and the freshness of the year. It has the telltale aromas and the soft and velvety texture of the grape, with nicely integrated oak and a dry, long and pleasant finish. This has mind-boggling quality for the quantity—they produce 2.5 million bottles of it! One to buy by the case.”
Catena Zapata - Wine Advocate			93	Oct-2019
Review “The polished and developed 2017 Catena Alta Malbec has balsamic aromas and a very attractive mixture of flowers, berries and spices. It has contained ripeness for a warm vintage, with a serious profile, medium body and fine-grained tannins, with good grip. It was fermented with full clusters and matured in used French oak barrels for some 18 months. I like the austerity and grip on the palate.”
