Wine Enthusiast:  Rated as Very good, may offer outstanding value if the price is right. "The palate hits with punch and pop; it’s jumpy and packed with boysenberry, blueberry and blackberry flavors. A fruit bomb for sure, but one with balance and New World intensity that many people are looking for." Apr 2011

Winery:  "Color: Intense ruby red.  Aroma: Cherry, plum, blueberry and grenadine with sweet notes of caramel and butterscotch.  Taste: Complex body mingles soft tannins with a velvety texture."

Wired For Wine:    Holy Best Buy bargains Batman!!  This Santa Rita Reserva Malbec is just what you've been looking for in a lively red summer sipper.  Top off your glasses and enjoy a platter of barbecued, pulled pork sliders.  Oh yes; they are good!  The intense dark fruit, notes of caramel and butterscotch, balanced by the gentle tannins and smooth texture make this Reserva ideal with beef, lamb and other meats, roasted, grilled and barbecued, as well as sausage, mushrooms and lots more.  We love the tannins in this Santa Rita with grilled flat iron steak dressed in Chimichurri sauce.  ¡Cómo es delicioso!  Chicken empanadas with chorizo, raisins, and olives will bring out the beautiful fruit in this Chilean champ and leave you wanting more.  Because we think that same fruit and the soft tannins go so well with lamb on the grill, we also suggest grilled lamb and fig skewers with a mint dipping sauce. Speaking of wanting more, open another bottle and bring the meal to a close with a room temperature Cashel Blue cheese.  Drizzle it with lavender honey, and sip on another glass while you savor it all.  We'd say our work is done here; to the Batcave!
