90 pointers....




2009 Maipe Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve....$15.99
"Similar in style, but more structured and revealing slightly more oak is the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. Full-bodied and dense with abundant notes of creme de cassis, chocolate, espresso roast, spice box, and tobacco leaf, it is a layered, succulent, hedonistic Cabernet to drink over the next 3-4 years. Maipe fashions reds and whites that sell for a song."
Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate

2009 Maipe Malbec Reserve....$15.99
My three favorite Maipe red wines include the 2009 Malbec Reserve, the winery’s top selection that is aged in wood for 12 months. A dense blue/purple color is followed by a big, sweet, floral (acacias), blueberry, blackberry, coffee, and white chocolate-scented bouquet. Remarkably rich and heady, with a full-bodied mouthfeel as well as silky tannins, it should be consumed over the next 2-3 years. Maipe fashions reds and whites that sell for a song."
Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate
