Finca 8 2009 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza)

  1. $40
Dense black-fruit aromas have a coconut edge, and the entire nose turns mossy and leathery with airing. It feels dense, chewy and a little soft, with an earthy, reedy flavor of black fruit that’s touched up with coffee. Plump, spicy and ever so slightly herbal on the finish.  — M.S.  (11/1/2012)

Finca 8 2008 Reserva Malbec (Uco Valley)

  1. $45
Blueberry, spice, sandalwood and foresty aromas are the good elements; funky, foxy additions not so much. The palate sports a raw, scratchy feel with hard tannins that go with strawberry, plum and vanilla flavors. Tastes and feels lactic on the finish, with a snappy offset. Good Malbec but it struggles to achieve harmony and total balance.  — M.S.  (11/1/2011)
