2006 Mendel Unus
93 Points
Wine Spectator, November 2008
"Vivid and tightly wound, with a racy, superripe core of blueberry, fig fruit held back for now by a layer of sweet, spicy toast. Yet this is well-integrated and superlengthy, with a great graphite edge underneath. Should cellar well. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon."
2005 Mendel Unus
90+ Points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, February 2008
"Bright medium ruby. Slightly roasted aromas of currant, licorice and spicecake. Began a bit clenched and quite primary, but showed a more pliant, refined texture as it opened in the glass, with harmonious acidity leavening the wine's sweet fruit and exotic fruitcake ripeness. Finishes with fine tannins and very good persistence."

Robert Parker Jr's "The Wine Advocate", December 2007
"The 2005 Unus is 65% Malbec and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon from the same 77 year old vineyard. The wine was aged for 16 months in 100% new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Inky purple, it has a super-expressive perfume of toasty oak,
pencil lead, cocoa, plum, and black cherry. Medium to full-bodied, plush, and full-flavored, this concentrated, well-balanced effort will improve with another 6 - 8 years in the bottle and provide pleasure through 2030."

Wine Spectator, November 2007
"Polished and forward, with dark blueberry and blackberry fruit flavors spread over ripe, round tannins and followed by a long finish tinged with chocolate and loam. "
2004 Mendel Unus
91 Points
Wine & Spirits, June 2007
"Made by star winemaker Roberto de la Mota, this blend of 70% old-vine malbec with cabernet sauvignon is dense and ripe, its soft and voluptous texture supported by smooth, fat tannins. A vinous version of a Botero painting. "
2004 Mendel Unus
92 Points
Wine Spectator, November 2006
"Concentrated and focused, with ample structure harnessing the plum, black currant, fig, bittersweet cocoa, graphite and licorice notes. Long finish pumps out fruit and sweet earth accents. Impressive."
