2019 Bibi Graetz Testamatta Bianco
Wine Advocate, January 2021
“The 2019 Testamatta Bianco is an open-knit and generous expression of Ansonica from various vineyards spread across the yellow granite stone island of Giglio off the Tuscan Coast. This wine is a little flatter compared to the Colore Bianco, with orchard fruit, melon, crushed pine nut and rosemary essence. The mouthfeel is broad and rich, spreading smoothly over the palate with creamy intensity and more nutty flavors. You wait for it, and there it is: that pretty note of Mediterranean salinity that pegs this wine to its island origins.”

Jancis Robinson, February 2020
“Very distinctive cordite nose. Massive and lively mountain character. Pure fruit. Long and savoury. Quite different from Mendoza fruit with firework impression. Stony dry finish.”

2020 Amalaya Malbec
Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, February 2022
“Offers notes of sandstone to the fine-grained cherry tart and dried raspberry flavors, which lengthen out with beefy hints in the midpalate. Shows light mocha accents on the finish. Drink now. 68,795 cases made, 15,000 cases imported.”

2016 Colomé Altura Máxima Malbec
Wine Enthusiast, July 2022
“Violet, plum and black cherry aromas shape the enticing and fragrant nose of this Malbec from extreme altitude. Hints of sage add complexity to the bouquet. Gripping tannins provide support to the flavorful palate with rich notes of black fruit and a touch of vanilla and spice. It's bold and crisp with a lingering finish.”

2019 Colomé Estate Malbec
Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, February 2022
“Shows concentrated dark cherry, fig and plum paste flavors that are backed by rich acidity. The juicy finish is framed by crisp acidity and tannins, with minerally and peppery elements. Drink now through 2025.”

2019 Colomé Estate Malbec
Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, March 2021
“The dark and brooding 2019 Auténtico Malbec had to be harvested quickly because of a heat wave during the harvest. Eighty-five percent of the volume matured in stainless steel and the rest in concrete egg. To be honest, it feels a little flat in the palate and has plenty of notes of ripe black fruit, not as vibrant as some past vintages... 65,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2020.”

2019 Amalaya Gran Corte Malbec
Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, February 2022
“Big and well-structured, with rich acidity supporting the dried berry, dark plum and Asian spice flavors, which show graphite notes. The overtly tannic finish has stone accents. Drink now through 2025. 9,519 cases made, 500 cases imported.”

2019 Colomé Auténtico Malbec
Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, November 2021
“Roasted plum and dark cherry flavors are loaded with savory richness in this red, with dried beef notes. Accents of soy midpalate lead to chocolate nib hints on the creamy finish. Drink now through 2025. 3,800 cases made, 1,400 cases imported.”

2019 Colomé Estate Malbec
James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2021
“A medium-to full-bodied red with aromas of violets, oyster shell, green olives, salted plums and baked blueberries. Firm, tight-grained tannins and bright acidity. Savory and saline with bitter berries on the finish. Try from 2023.”

2019 Colomé Estate Malbec
Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, December 2020
“Colomé Estate wines are growing more and more stylish and precise. One of the keys was the addition of an optional grape selector that allows winemakers to discard the dehydrated grapes. The 2019 vintage of the Malbec Estate is thus much fruitier with ripe plus and cherry over balsamic, herbal notes and a touch of sunny Calchaquí syrup. Both concentrated and juicy, the firm tannins sculpt the good volume and keep the energy in check, ensuring that it's merely sprightly in contrast to the booming power of previous vintages. As pure and primary as ever but now with greater elegance.”

2019 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Chardonnay
Wine Enthusiast, December 2021
“This wine is made from several outstanding sites, including Sullivan and Walker Hill. Tightly structured, it shows a hint of butterscotch and oak before the acidity shines through to further emphasize a brightness of Meyer lemon, oyster shell and pear.”

2019 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili
James Suckling, James Suckling, April 2022
“Sweet and succulent aromas of tangerines, freshly cut ripe strawberries, cherries and flowers follow through to a full-bodied palate with sleek and dense tannins that run the length of the wine and then fan out into a dense, vivid finish of fruit. It’s chewy and seriously structured with finesse and energy. Silky texture.”

2016 Animo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2019
“Although this is a dense and ripe Napa cabernet, there are hints of fresh herbs and blood oranges that lift the ripe blackberry, plum and citrus aromas. On the palate, the bitter-chocolate character is more discreet than in many modern-style wines and nicely sets off the generous fruit and supple tannins. The long, fresh finish is supported by restrained tannins. Drink or hold.”

2018 Animo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, February 2022
“A rich, plush style, with a wave of cassis, plum reduction, melted black licorice and smoldering tobacco notes that move in unison from start to finish, ending with a late tug of singed cedar. Drink now through 2032.”

2021 Luke Columbia Valley Chardonnay
Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, May 2023
“Rich aromatics of melted lemon butter with seared scallops should be enough.The wine's vanilla bean and pineapple aromas are mere bonuses. Even the wine's mouthfeel is creamy and buttery, with flavors of peaches, mango, toasted filberts and just enough acidity to hold it all together.”
