Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 94 Points (2017)

A Cabernet Sauvignon from an old vineyard at Finca Los Membrillos, Paraje Altamira, 50% aged in French barrels for 12 months. The profound nose delivers notes of black currant, mint and fine wood such as cedar, as well as hints of caramel, pyrazine, white pepper and nutmeg. Attractive and complex, in the mouth it is juicy with a structure maintained by the wood. A potent, energetic wine for the region, achieving a sustained but measured tension. Firm and rich on the palate, this is an exemplary Uco Valley Cab.

Robert Parker (RP) : 93 Points (2017)

I noticed the variety in the 2017 Finca Los Membrillos a lot more than in the 2018, as Cabernet Sauvignon is very sensitive to heat and gets stressed easily. When they bought the vineyard, it was planted to just Cabernet Sauvignon, but they later bought land around it and planted Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Semillon, so the wine can change in the future... It was a low-yielding year and they picked late, resulting in a wine with 13.8% alcohol. It has herbal and ripe aromas of blackberries, a medium to full-bodied palate and abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It matured in 500-liter oak barrels and is very balsamic and minty, with notes of camphor, and it feels more developed than the wines from 2018.

James Suckling (JS) : 94 Points (2016)

This is a pure cabernet sauvignon with green olives, hints of tobacco and currants. Green cedar, too. Medium to full body, round and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish.
