2017 Colomé Estate Malbec

Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, July 2020

“Toasty black fruit aromas are herbal but also lively. A lush and saturated palate is a true mouth filler, while this Malbec pumps out blackberry and crème de cassis flavors prior to a heady finish that comes up short on complexity and nuance. This is entirely about fruit, fruit and more fruit.”

2018 Colomé Auténtico Malbec

Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, July 2020

“A deeply saturated black-meets-purple color and cool aromas of herbal blackberry, cola and minerals open this lush Malbec from Salta. A sappy palate is dense and full bodied, while this tastes of wild berry, cassis and balsamic reduction. A thick and sappy finish is fitting even though this sees no oak.”

2019 Colomé Auténtico Malbec

James Suckling, James Suckling, April 2020

“This is a big, concentrated, blackstrap and purple-colored sort of wine. Full-bodied and chewy. This is a little overdone, but it shows lots of character and intensity. Give it two or three years to soften and show more complexity. Better after 2022.”

2018 Colomé Auténtico Malbec

Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, December 2019

“Offers a fine-grained texture, with precise red fruit and spice flavors that are well-structured and pure-tasting. The minerally finish features some peppery notes and plenty of verve. Drink now through 2025. 7,500 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.”

2017 Colomé Estate Malbec

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, June 2019

“Bright, dark medium ruby. Lively aromas and flavors of crushed blackberry, licorice, bitter chocolate and mocha. Densely packed, fine-grained and savory, with its ripe, creamy flavors complicated by a wild gamey quality. As rich, concentrated and deep as this wine is, it's not over the top. This outstanding Malbec finishes ripely tannic and long, with compelling sweetness of fruit. (14.9% alcohol; this wine represents a blend of vineyards and altitudes in Calchaqui Valley; aged for 15 months in a mix of one- to ten-year-old French barriques)”

2020 Colomé Estate Torrontés

Vinous, October 2020

“A Torrontés from Cafayate where harvest time is key. Neither under- nor overripe, it presents aromas of orange blossom, lime and tuberose, and offers sparky freshness in the mouth, good volume for the variety, real intensity of flavor and a slightly bitter finish, as one would expect from a terpenic grape.”

2019 Colomé Estate Torrontés

October 2020

“Aromatics are in high gear for this high elevation-grown white. Scents of lemon and caramel offer a spice. An exacting grapefruit tartness and chamomile floral quality meet up with subtle peach on the palate. A freshness owes its favor to a vibrant acidity.”

2016 Colomé Altura Máxima Malbec

Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, December 2019

“Ripe aromas and concentrated flavors of roasted plum, tar and black licorice make for a dense, brooding style. Intense smokiness shows midpalate, with beefy accents on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2025. 900 cases made, 300 cases imported.”

2018 Colomé Estate Torrontés

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, June 2019

“Bright yellow. Lovely nose melds lemon, menthol, dried herbs, lichee and ginger. Then almost surprisingly round, sweet and large-scaled in the mouth; quite full for Torrontés but also vibrant thanks to its healthy acidity (reportedly 6.7 grams per liter). A turpenic resiny quality is nicely countered by bright citricity and a floral note. This seriously palate-saturating Torrontés finishes long and outsized, with a slightly phenolic character. A rather extreme style from high-altitude vines (up to 7,500 feet) but it works. (made entirely in stainless stee”

2020 Colomé Estate Torrontés

Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, March 2021

“There are subtle notes of jasmine and orange blossom in the nose of the 2020 Estate Torrontés, which was harvested at the end of February before the heat wave at 13.5% alcohol, keeping a low pH and good acidity with grapes from vineyards at 1,700 and 2,300 meters in altitude. It fermented in stainless steel and was kept there for one month before being bottled. The finish is very dry, with a chalky sensation akin to limestone soils and chalk. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2020.”

2019 Colomé Auténtico 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.”

2017 Colomé 1831 Malbec

“This has a deep and dark, purple-fruit nose with violets and brambly dark plums pervading the palate. Very rich in flavor. Drink over the next five years.”

2019 Colomé Estate Torrontés

Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast, July 2020

“Aromas of lemon, lime and pastry dusted with powdered sugar lead to a round palate with citrus-like acidity. Pineapple and melon flavors come with a touch of salt, while the palate feels full with a slight grip. Drink now.”

2019 Amalaya Malbec

Jancis Robinson, March 2020

“85% Malbec, with Tannat and Petit Verdot at 1,800 m. A less-expensive sister brand to Colomé founded in 2010. Polished and sweet. Admirably light bottle. Without the drama of some high-altitude wines but well made and pleasing.”

“A dusty, chewy red with plenty of tannins and blackberry and smoky flavor. It’s full-bodied and very flavorful. Drink or hold. Screw cap.”

2018 Amalaya Malbec

Michael Schachner, Wine Enthusiast,

“Herbal black fruit aromas are touched up by notes of earthy spice and cured meat. A prodding palate is both solid and tannic, while this Salta Malbec tastes of blackberry, dark plum, herbs and spices. A lush finish is equally stout, and overall you won't find much fault in this”

2018 Amalaya Malbec

James Suckling, James Suckling, March 2020

“A bold, fruit-driven malbec with a lot of blueberry and forest-berry aromas and full, soft tannins that keep the generous body in check. Quite polished finish. Screw cap.”

2020 Amalaya Malbec

Joaquín Hidalgo, Wine Advocate, March 2021

“I love the ultra young and fleshy 2020 Malbec that in reality contains 10% Tannat and 5% Petit Verdot. It's ripe without excess and was bottled after one-fourth of the volume spent eight months in oak barrels. So, the effect of the oak is not noticeable in the aromas or flavors, and the wine comes through as fruit-driven and juicy while still keeping the varietal profile. They produced no less than 720,000 bottles of this wine. It was bottled in September 2020.”
