Brothers Hector and Pablo Durigutti grew up among the vineyards of Mendoza and knew that wine was in their DNA. Since 2002, the siblings have established themselves as a new, modern generation in Argentina's long history of viticulture. You can taste this modern approach in their 2022 HD Reserva Malbec - a bottling that highlights high-elevation, old-vine grapes sourced entirely from a single vineyard. Joaquin Hidalgo of Vinous awarded it an admirable 93 points, praising its "well-calibrated...concentrated mouthfeel" and terroir-driven nature.

Tasting Notes: The 2022 Malbec Reserva HD comes from Paraje Altamira in the Uco Valley. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, this purple-hued wine reveals aromas of fresh plums, cherry and a delicate hint of marmalade over a subtle oak backdrop. Dry, juicy and well-calibrated, the palate offers a concentrated mouthfeel enlivened by a chalky texture. This is a terroir-driven wine with a complex, primary character.

Tasting Notes: Black cherries, spices and blueberries on the nose. Fresh and tight on the medium- to full-bodied palate with firm, fine-grained tannins extending to a lengthy, lightly spicy finish. Very well-balanced. Drink or hold.
