"The aromatic nose of this Malbec-based blend shows peppercorn and red-berry aromas. Full bodied and with good acidity, the wine delivers grassy notes, fruit flavors and a touch of spice framed by smooth tannins"

"Deep and brooding, with lavender and spice notes to the black and blue fruit. Medium to full body, showing meaty spice and blackberries. Ripe and fine-grained tannin. 85% malbec, 9% cabernet franc and 6% tannat. Drink now."

"The 2020 Gran Corte is a blend of 85% Malbec with 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Tannat from Cafayate aged for 12 months in used barrels. The intense nose offers notes of blackberry chutney, syrup and hints of spice with a balsamic backdrop. Juicy with a terse texture, the tannins bring depth without interfering with the nimble flow or dark fruit flavors."

"I’ve long been a fan of this Gran Corte, produced from a blend of Malbec with 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Tannat. Matured in older French and American wood, it’s a poised, nuanced cuvée, showing stony minerality, liquorice, plum and blueberry fruit and a freshness that’s sometimes lacking in wines from northern Argentina. 2023-28"

"Big and well-structured, with rich acidity supporting the dried berry, dark plum and Asian spice flavors, which show graphite notes. The overtly tannic finish has stone accents. Drink now through 2025. 9,519 cases made, 500 cases imported."

"The 2019 Gran Corte is a blend of 85% Malbec and 9% Cabernet Franc plus 6% Tannat that feel very integrated and complementary of each other. The wine comes through as serious and balanced, rich and ripe but without excess and with some tannins that would welcome some more time in bottle and/or food. 78,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2020."

"Blackberries, figs and violet aromas oozing out from the glass with a juicy, round palate, propped up by wellcrafted, polished tannin. A blend of 85% malbec, 9% cabernet franc and 6% tannat. Drink now or hold"

"Always a reliable and enjoyable wine at the price, Gran Corte combines Malbec with 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Tannat. Aged in older French and American barrels, it has bags of colour, plum and blueberry fruit, serious tannins, fresh acidity and some sweet oak spices. Especially commendable given the volumes involved. 2021-26"

Close Review

"A blend of Malbec with 9% Cabernet Franc and 6% Tannat, 100% of which spent time in French and American oak. A good example of a high-altitude wine. The nose conveys dark fruit and jam, prunes, blackberry, country herbs and red bell pepper plus hints of pyrazine. Indulgent at first, with a firm structure lent shape, volume and smooth texture by the good amount of oak. A satisfying northern wine."

"The Malbec-based blend (9% Cab Franc and 6% Tannat) from high elevation vineyards, shows a graceful, plush persona with notes of lavender, jasmine and white peppered plums. A flush of vanilla on the finish, combined with a bright acidity, makes for a fine food pairing wine."
