Wine Critic Reviews

Patricio Tapia - Descorchados (94): The 5 Suelos (five soils) in this wine refers to the five types of soil that the Durigutti family has in the Las Compuertas area, beside the Mendoza River in Luján de Cuyo. The malbec planted on these five types of soil is more than 100 years old and now produces a red wine that is pure elegance, a very clear vision of what malbec is in the 'first zone,' where the original examples of the variety that conquered the world market originated. This is a paradigmatic example, with its fluidity, its ripe red fruits, and its slight touches of violets.

Wine Enthusiast (91): Made by brothers and winemakers Hector and Pablo Durigutti, this is a blend of grapes from five soil types found in Las Compuertas, Luján de Cuyo. The nose shows notes of ripe cherry and licorice. Berry-jam flavors alongside balancing acidity are featured in the delicious palate. It has soft tannins and sweet fruity notes in the finish.
