Producer Description

A deep red blend with rich aromas of black berries. Rich, smooth and elegant with a lingering finish given by the integration of the wine’s three varietals.

James Suckling: 94 Points

A consistently outstanding red blend featuring malbec, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. The cocoa powder and spice notes from the oak are adequate and certainly just supplementary to the healthy core of fresh, peppery blackberries and dark cherries with a touch of graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with firm, dusty tannins, showing fresh, intense black and blue fruit with violets and dark chocolate lingering in a lengthy finish. A great value. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate: 93 Points

There's better integration of the oak and better balance, harmony and elegance in the 2021 Privada Family Blend. It was produced with 40% Malbec and 30% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from vineyards in Luján de Cuyo. It feels very integrated, with each variety adding aromas and flavors and coming through as complex and powerful. This has to be one of the finest vintages for this bottling. Maybe they used less new barrels... 220,000 bottles produced.

Wine Spectator: 90 Points

Up-front notes of vanilla and cocoa bean fold into a well-contoured core of plum and berry flavors, which takes on additional layers of cassis and chocolate. Ends with polished tannins, showing nice length. Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2034. 960 cases imported.
