Michel Torino Don David Malbec Reserve 2011

Each selection in Michel Torino's Don David range is sourced from entirely estate-owned vineyards throughout the Cafayate Valley. Vineyards sit at elevations well above 3,000 feet with many sitting above 6,000 feet. The power of the sun at these elevations combined with very little moisture or pests leads to wines of unique purity and concentration.

Malbec is the flagship red varietal of Argentina. This wine shows plum, red fruits, spicy black cherries and cassis with toasted oak notes on the nose and palate. Ripe fruit and linear acidity balance strong but soft, ripe tannins.

"Very ripe but lively aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and licorice. Sweet, suave and fine-grained, with a distinctly creamy character to the dark fruit and dark chocolate flavors. Well-integrated acidity keeps this plush malbec from coming off as heavy. Finishes with ripe tannins and very good length." (Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar)

"Fresh, with silky tannins framing the raspberry ganache and cassis notes woven with hints of spice, iron and earth." (Wine Spectator)

"While showing roasted, tomato-like aromas, this Malbec from northern Argentina also features a nose full of tobacco, earth and berry fruit. There's acidic snap to the palate, but that only pumps up raspberry, toast and mild herbal flavors. A spicy, woody finish tastes exotic and saucy." (Wine Enthusiast)

"Concentrated black fruit is at the center of this wine, ripe and powerful, impenetrable. Even so, a spine of acidity balances all that fruit, keeping the wine firm and tense." (Wine & Spirits)
