Brothers Hector and Pablo Durigutti are two of the most highly-renowned winemaking consultants in Argentina, helping to craft wines for Altos Las Hormigas, Renacer, Rutini and Alberti 154. After establishing themselves with these wineries and the growers that supply them, the duo decided to take on a pet project of their own. The Durigutti line is a family project of ultra-premium...dare we say "boutique"...wines. And there's nothing these siblings do better than the grape that got them where they are today: Malbec.

Durigutti Malbec Classico 2007 is a 100% Malbec that should be considered a benchmark for the grape at this accessible price. Deep ruby color with tinges of that characteristic "Malbec Magenta," this wine carries intriguing aromas of cigar and wild strawberry, nice raspberry fruit, good acidity, and a long, slightly chocolate-coated finish.

Wine Spectator 90 Points

Quite ripe and toasty, with a hefty dose of mocha and coffee laid over the fleshy dark plum, currant and blackberry fruit. Stays toasty through the finish, but this is well-integrated, with the fruit an equal match. Drink now through 2010. 5,800 cases made.–JM
