This is a wine that was traditionally sold in Argentina, first produced in 1995. The 2018 Angelica Zapata Malbec now comes from a vineyard in Eugenio Bustos in San Carlos (Pampa del Cepillo), planted in 2005, what they call Angélica Sur, which was planted from the original Angélica Vineyard in Lunlunta. The wine fermented in barrels, bins and small stainless steel and matured in 225- and 500-liter barrels. The wine has the freshness from El Cepillo that compensated the warmth of 2018. It has 13.7% alcohol and varietal aromas of violets, berries and herbs. It's juicy and has fine tannins. It's serious but approachable. Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
