2021 Colomé Auténtico Malbec
Tim Atkin, Tim Atkin, June 2022
“Made as a tribute to Colomé’s previous owner, Raúl Dávalos, who has an aversion to oak, this unwooded Malbec uses grapes from nine parcels on the estate in Molinos. Wild, savoury and intense, with aromatic herb top notes, tobacco leaf undertones and a compact, layered, densely fruited finish. 2023-30”

2021 Colomé Auténtico Malbec
James Suckling, James Suckling, March 2022
“Blackberries, dark spices, oyster shells and graphite with a lift of violets. A full-bodied malbec with round, polished tannins. Very primary with plush fruit. Showing complexity without referring to oak. Vegan. Really delicious now.”

2020 Colomé Auténtico Malbec
Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, November 2021
“From Molinos, Calchaquí Valley, the 2020 Malbec Auténtico is unaged and presents a simple nose of ripe plum and hints of violet, gunpowder, jarilla and spices. The flavors are just as intense in the mouth with mild freshness and a juicy flow. The mild tannins lend structure before the lengthy, fruity finish. This is a high-altitude red as pure as the valley air.”

2018 Colomé 1831 Malbec
Jesica Vargas, Wine Enthusiast, September 2022
“This well-balanced wine shows a bouquet of ripe plum and blackberry aromas with hints of rosemary. A silky round palate gives way to plenty of black-fruit flavors blended with a light note of leather. The finish is medium in length, with oaky and fruity notes.”

2018 Colomé 1831 Malbec
Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, November 2021
“The 2018 Malbec 1831 is made with grapes from the establishment’s oldest vineyards, which according to records were first planted in 1831. A vivid red and dense purple hue. This wine has a fragrant, complex and ripe nose of chutney, balsamic traces and notes of redcurrant and hints of bay leaf and plum jam. A nuanced wine, the palate is broad with mild, juicy freshness, good concentration and a gentle feel sculpted a little by characterful tannins before a fruity finish one rarely finds in the valley. A high altitude mild red.”

2020 Bibi Graetz Testamatta Rosso
Susan Hulme MW, Independent Wine Report, March 2023
“The name of this Bibi Graetz Testamatta 2020 means ‘crazy head’, perhaps referring to Bibi’s passionate pursuit of old vine Sangiovese. This wine is a clear, transparent, ruby color and has a very appealing nose of delicate, pure, red fruits like red cherry and wild strawberries wrapped in spice and light salty notes from sea breezes. The nose is charming and alluring. On the palate it is very Burgundy-like in weight and texture with a fine silkiness to the texture but it has very Sangiovese-like tannins. The wine is round and silky with a juicy freshness and fine but firm, savory tannins that linger with bitter cherry and sea salt flavors to the finish. A graceful and characterful version of Sangiovese.”

2020 Bibi Graetz Colore Rosso
Susan Hulme MW, Independent Wine Report, March 2023
“The 2020 Bibi Graetz Colore has beautiful, appetising aromas of savory wild herbs, wild-flowers and Mediterranean shrub with a light peppery note and on standing there is an aroma of strawberries warmed in the sun. The palate is round and soft, then mouth-wateringly fresh, then it finishes with savory, salty tannins. What I love is that the flavours are clearly delineated and remind me of Sangiovese and the Tuscan landscape with bitter cherry, light sea salt, iron tonic and wild herb notes. The flavors are quite fragile but persistent, the texture is fine and silky and there is a lot of savory, mineral tension in this wine.”

2021 Amalaya Malbec
Tim Atkin, Tim Atkin, June 2022
“It says Malbec on the label, but this lightly wooded red also includes 15% of perfectly legal Tannat and Petit Verdot. Earlier picked for freshness, it’s sappy and textured, showing plum and blackberry fruit, a waft of violet and refreshing acidity. 2023-28”
