Marchiori & Barraud 2007 Cuartel 2 Marchiori Vineyard Malbec (Perdriel)

  1. $39
Aggressive smelling early on but then it settles on classy raspberry, cassis and herbs. The palate is very healthy, juicy, rich and big, but the flavors of dark berry fruit are subtle and smooth. Chunky, sweet and ripe on the finish. A Malbec to drink this winter. Only 300 cases produced.  — M.S.  (12/1/2009)

  1. $26
Concentrated and ripe smelling, with prune, blackberry, coconut and other soft, dense aromas that succeed in drawing you in. Feels jammy and chubby, with meaty tannins and sweet flavors of prune, raisin, cassis and chocolate. Not overly complex; drink now through 2013.  — M.S.  (3/1/2012)

Marchiori & Barraud 2007 Malbec (Perdriel)

  1. $19
For a tough, cool vintage, this wine displays lush qualities and depth, bordering on jamminess. Flavors of baked plums and cassis rest on a plump, soft palate with little tannic bite. All in all, it may be a little overripe, which is why the finish is short. But as a whole this is a tasty wine, especially considering the year.  — M.S.  (5/1/2009)

Dense and weighty up front, with gaseous, earthy aromas giving way to standard blackberry and plum scents. Feels fleshy but also a bit racy, with nice raspberry, plum and modest oak flavors. A touch lactic and thick, but it’s acidic enough to achieve balance and commendable end results.  — M.S.  (3/1/2012)

Saucy and sulfuric at first, but better with time. The palate amounts to a saturated fruit bomb with grip, while the core flavors of cassis and black fruits are very sweet and chunky. Bulky, broad and on the cusp of syrupy. Ripe and ready but maybe too ripe and creamy for its own good.  — M.S.  (8/1/2009)
