Sort By:

Mayol 2002 Montuiri Vineyard Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Price $15

A single-vineyard heavyweight with sweet aromas of oak, caramel and berry syrup. The palate is stewy and dark, with blackberry and pepper notes. The feel across the tongue is stand-up, with chocolate and coffee notes coming on late. — M.S. (7/1/2004)

Mayol 2002 Pircas Vineyard Syrah (Vista Flores)

Price $15

Only a mild vegetal hint to the nose holds this back. Otherwise, it’s round and chunky, and quite well balanced. The red fruit on the palate is vivid, and the vanilla-tinged oak seems to grace that fruit. The texture throughout is good, as is the color. — M.S. (7/1/2004)

points

Mayol 2003 Pircas Vineyard Bonarda (Mendoza)

Price $15

Dense and dark, with a color akin to purple ink. Catchy, well-made, the fruit is ripe and abnormally friendly, while the structure is solid. What makes this an above-average wine in its class is that the acidity is mellow, not shrill as is often the case. — M.S. (11/15/2004)

Mayol 2002 Pircas Vineyard Bonarda (Vista Flores)

Price $15

This is about as good as it gets with Bonarda, a thinner, juicier red with lots of acidity and true red-fruit flavors. Plum, cherry and a touch of oak define the palate, while the finish is dry and expansive. A bit grapy and grabbing, but still a good example of this mostly lost Italian variety. — M.S. (7/1/2004)

points

Mayol 2003 Sebastian Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Tupungato)

Price $15

Basic and juicy, with olive on the nose along with black fruit. Ripe and tannic, with berry and plum flavors and a robust, somewhat tannic mouthfeel. Pushes cherry and blackberry late; good but standard. Imported by Southern Wine Group. — M.S. (12/31/2005)

points

Mayol 2003 Montuiri Vineyard Malbec (Luján de Cuyo)

Price $15

Rubbery and firm on the nose, yet soft in the mouth. The flavors are of pure red fruit, mostly raspberry and currants. Mild on the finish, clean and easy, with a touch of buttery oak. Not that deep but decent. Imported by Southern Wine Group. — M.S. (12/31/2005)
