Winemaker Notes
Colomé Malbec Reserve is distinguished among the great malbec from Argentina and shows quality and elegance. Deep red , almost black with violet edges , has a nose with aromas of ripe fruit and black pepper. Complex wine with great mouthfeel.

Wine Enthusiast
Take note, this could be the best wine Colomé has ever bottled. Cedary oak aromas grace ripe, almost desiccated wild berry notes that are slightly herbal and sauvage. A well-layered mouthfeel is ideal in power and precision. Requisite blackberry, cassis, toast and peppery flavors finish dry and long, with little heat or burn. Drink through 2021.Editors' Choice

Rich and exotic with sliced mushroom, dark fruits and earth. Full body, super fine tannins and a bright finish. So much energy. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Reserva Malbec might solve one question: if you wonder what all the fuss about Colome is, this wine might be it. It is sourced from very old vineyards planted at 2,300 meters altitude and aged for two years in new French oak and has the restraint, concentration and depth of the old vines, with the oak neatly folded into the ripe fruit. The palate is medium to full-bodied, powerful serious and deep, but disguises well its 15.9% alcohol. This is a wild, big, powerful, yet balanced wine in need of some bottle aging. Drink 2016-2024.

Bodega Colome is nestled in the Calchaqui Valley, 2300 meters (7500 feet) above sea level, in the Argentine northwest. Founded in 1831, it is one of the oldest existing wineries in Argentina. In 2001, it was acquired by the Hess Family Estates. Those who enjoy their wines recognize in them the true taste of wines made with grapes of the highest quality and grown in the highest vineyards in the world (7218-10,207 feet above sea level) reflecting the soul of its terroir. Bodega y Estancia Colome's philosophy consists in the commitment to implement biodynamic agriculture, whose principles were outlined by the researcher Rudolf Steiner.
