VINOUS 94 POINTS - "The 2022 Malbec Estate blends grapes from various Calchaquí Valley sites. Its 15 months of aging in 225- and 500-liter barrels with 25% new oak contributes complexity and character. Deep purple in color, it opens with blackberry, plum, spice and floral notes against an oaky backdrop. The palate mirrors these elements with juicy fruit, a plush texture, active tannins and a hint of chalk. The 2022 is long, flavorful and representative of northwest Argentina."
WINE ADVOCATE 92 POINTS - "The 2022 Estate Malbec combines four vineyards ranging from 1,700 meters to 3,100 meters above sea level and matured for 15 months in both new and used barrique. An inky nose of opaque fruits, tobacco leaves, fresh herbs and turned earth introduces a dense, compact palate with a mineral-tinged core. It concludes with a long, rich finish framed with taut, sturdy tannins."
"A Swiss businessman and Napa vintner Donald Hess bought Bodega Colomé in 2001 and immediately set about modernizing the vineyards and winery in the remote Salta region of the Andes, in the north of Argentina. The estate Malbec, a 100 percent varietal bottling, blends fruit from four vineyards ranging from 5,700 to a dizzying 10,200 feet in altitude; the sun exposure at such elevations promotes thicker skins on berries and thus a more concentrated wine. After 15 months of aging in French oak barriques, this wine spent six months in bottle. It's an expression of a daunting terroir at an approachable price." - Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator
