Crafted by two young brothers in the “new world” fashion, this beautifully complex malbec has received exultant praise from the industry. And it’s well-deserved. Hector and Pablo Durigutti have many years ahead of them and I can’t imagine this wine getting much better. But maybe it can? Sign me up.
Heavier and more full-bodied than most malbecs, this one is power-fruit-packed with black cherry, blackberry and blueberry. Throw in some cola, mint, vanilla and soft leather and you’ve got a big winner for the price. Also try the Durigutti 2007 Bonarda, auniquely brawny grape from Argentina.
