“The 2019 Appellation La Consulta Malbec feels primary and fruit-driven, quite faithful to the variety and vintage, with good freshness and moderate alcohol. It was juicy, with some of the chalky texture of the stony soils.”

“A Malbec from La Consulta, a historic terroir in the south of the Uco Valley, that spent 12 months in 35% new French oak. Expressive, local flavors of ripe plum and cherry with violet notes. Also typical of the terroir are the terse texture and gentle, voluminous palate, where the acidity is well-integrated, marshaling the creamy, lengthy flow and clear, fruity aftertaste. An excellent example of the La Consulta profile.”

“La Consulta, in the Uco Valley, is sort of an intermediate territory (in terms of flavors) between the mountain malbecs higher up in the Andes and those further down on the north side of the Mendoza River and closer to the city of Mendoza. It's a warm area where the heat is expressed in tones of ripe red and black fruits, although they are accompanied by the piercing acidity characteristic of new school Uco malbec. Another good photograph of place in the Appellation line.”
