2022 Colomé Estate Malbec

Aaron Romano, Wine Spectator, August 2024

“The opening notes of toasted herbs and spiced chocolate suggest a rich and dark version, yet the core of this red shows pure raspberry and cherry flavors. A nice layer of minerally freshness underneath drives the finish around precise tannins. Drink now through 2034.”
