MALBEC
95 Kaiken 2016 Mai The First Malbec (Mendoza). Bold black-fruit aromas are slightly reduced and tarry at first, but with airing alluring herbal notes and complexity take over. While this is fully ripe and full in body and color, it’s lively in feel. Toasty, almost charred oak goes toe to toe with deep black-fruit flavors. All of this is backed by a smoky, chocolaty finish. A huge success for a 2016, a year marred by rain. Drink through 2030. Guarachi Wine Partners. Editors’ Choice. —M.S.
