2002 mapema primera zona
90 Points
Robert Parker Jr's "The Wine Advocate",
December 2007
"
The 2002 Primera Zona is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Malbec, and 20% Merlot. It is a saturated purple with an evolved nose offering lots of spice, black currants, and black cherry. The flavors already offfer complexity although the palate provides a youthful impression with enough structure to support several more years of evolution. It should drink well through 2025."

"Offers lovely cassis and cinnamon flavors with long, powerful tannins."

 

2001 mapema primera zona
89 points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar,
July/August 2004
"Sappy, fruit-driven aromas of black cherry and black raspberry, with floral and minty nuances. Flavors similar to the aromas, with lovely acidity and a note of pomegranate giving firmness and lift to the fruit. Finishes juicy, fresh and firmly tannic."

Wine Spectator Magazine, June 2003
"A solid attempt at a modern style, with raspberry and cassis fruit and lots of vanilla-scented toast, It’s concentrated, with good focus, but just a bit trim in the end, without the lushness of the top wines. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot."
