2010 January Wine Club Cellar Selection
Though the Trapiche winery is probably best known for value-priced Argentine wines, their single-vineyard Malbecs have really become the stars of their portfolio. The project was designed as a tribute to their independent grape growers and an exhibition of how the character of the Malbec grape can vary at different altitudes and terroirs within Mendoza. Each year, the Trapiche winemaking team chooses the best three Malbec lots of the harvest and honors them with their own single-vineyard bottlings.
In the great 2006 vintage, growers Cristina and Bibiana Coletto impressed the winemakers and critics alike with the fresh, licorice and fig-laden flavors of their Malbec grown in the El Peral, Tupungato sub-appellation of Mendoza. Juicy, ample and balanced with both acidity and spice, this should drink well now through 2012 or longer.
Reviews
Jay Miller Wine Advocate 95 Points
The saturated purple 2006 Malbec Vina Coletto is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1948. It is loaded with fruit, density, extract and structure. Beautifully balanced, it will continue to develop for another 6-8 years and be in its prime from 2015 to 2030.
Wine Spectator 92 Points
Densely packed for now, with fig, cocoa and blackberry notes up front, while a reserve of boysenberry, blueberry and licorice waits in reserve. Shows flittering hints of violet and graphite as well, with a long, broad finish. Best from 2010 through 2013. 1,355 cases made. –JM
