description: With Toso's basic 2006 Malbec being named our Best Buy of the Year for 2007, we find ourselves a bit pinned in judging this higher-priced Reserve Malbec from the same year. With the microscope turned up, however, we find a well-oaked wine with pencil-shaving aromas yielding to coconut and subtle black fruit notes. The palate is dense, structured and full of cherry, cassis and clove flavors. Composed for sure, with tighter acids and tannins than the aforementioned Best Buy champ.
variety: Malbec
designation: Reserve Las Barrancas Vineyards
