2005 mapema malbec
"Star Malbec"
Food and Wine, June 2008
"Argentine winemakers Pepe Galante and Mariano Di Paola joined forces a few years ago to create their mapema brand, which focuses on affordable, delicious wines like this espresso-scented red."
2005 mapema malbec
90 Points
Robert Parker Jr's "The Wine Advocate", December 2007
"The 2005 Malbec is purple-colored with aromas of cedar, spice box, mineral, and black cherry. Medium-bodied and elegant, it has a smooth texture, lots of spicy flavor, and a fruit-filled finish. Drink it for the next 10 - 12 years."
2004 mapema malbec
91 Points
Wine & Spirits, June 2007
"A collaboration between Mariano di Paola, winemaker at La Rural, and Pepe Galante from Catena, this is one youthful, tough malbec. From old vines in La Consulta in the Andean foothills, it's powerful, with tight, tense tannins and acidic austere fruit."
2004 mapema malbec
88 Points
Wine Spectator, November 2006
"Flashy style, with fig, currant and blackberry fruit backed by sweet spice. Creamy, open-knit finish. Should have lots of fans."
2004 mapema malbec
MSNBC, "The Mysteries of Argentinean Malbec", April 2006
"Big, brambly fruit, with cocoa and black plum. The tannins are hefty and mouth-drying. Truly requires food, but the solid fruit still comes forward."
2003 mapema malbec
87+ Points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 2005
"Medium-ruby. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, licorice, violet, black pepper and bitter chocolate. Juicy and bright..., with blackberry, pepper and bitter chocolate flavors."
2003 mapema malbec
89 Points
Wine Spectator, October 2005
"Powerful, with firm cocoa and toast notes framing black currant, plum and tar flavors. Ripe, gutsy finish."
