Three 91+ ratings at the release price of $65, high elevation Malbec’s from Mendoza are on fire right now! Crafted by winemaker Richard Bonvin, The Pledge 1000 is sourced from five vineyards in the Uco Valley, the birthplace of Argentina's modern wine movement. Located at the base of the Andes, vineyards in Altamira, Gualtallary, Tupungato, La Consulta and Agrelo offer a perfect growing climate of warm days and cool nights. This phenomenon allows the grapes to achieve excellent fruit concentration, which is responsible for the wine's structure. Fine tannins, good acidity, and a judicious amount of new French oak, this is the Icon wine from one of our favorite Argentine producers.

James Suckling: 93 Points

"This is a very striking malbec with an intense, focused feel from the get-go. The nose has a wealth of ripe red berries and plums and the palate offers a succulent, juicy and flavorful style with good focus and concentration. Drink or hold." James Suckling, 93 Points

Vinous: 92 Points

"A Malbec from the Uco Valley with grapes from different vineyards, aged for 24 months in a medley of barrels of varying experience. Overseen by Swiss oenologist Richard Bonvin, it presents a balsamic nose of thyme and plum with hints of wood, wax, and a touch of jam. Juicy in the mouth, offering gentle tannins and a little extract. Concentrated without being overbearing, it flows well and is full of flavor. An old-fashioned take on the Uco Valley." Vinous Media, 92 Points

Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points

"Ripe, earthy berry aromas are on the savory and leathery side, while this pulls inward on the palate due to racy acidity. Tangy berry and black plum flavors are lightly herbal, while this doesn't show a lot besides mild oak on a long finish driven by perky acidity. Drink through 2025." The Wine Enthusiast, 91 Points
