96 Pts Jay Miller - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate	"The 2008 Finca Mirador offers up a kinky nose of wild berries, brier, underbrush, and exotic spices. Already complex with superb depth and intense flavors, this is an exceptionally lengthy offering that will benefit from 3-4 years of additional bottle aging and should be at its best from 2013 to 2023." "Achaval Ferrer is now firmly established as one of Argentinaâs benchmark producers." (12/10)

93 Pts Wine Spectator	"Superrich and still quite tight, displaying a strong charcoal and graphite spine that holds the core of dense plum skin, anise, blackberry and Black Forest cake at bay. The long, grippy finish lets Turkish coffee and licorice notes flesh out. Best from 2011 through 2015. 843 cases made. -JM" (10/10)

93 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com	"A dense and subtle red with plum and dark chocolate character and hints of walnuts and burnt orange. Full body, with lovely form and a balance of fruit and bright acidity. Complex red. Drink or hold." (06/14)

91 Pts Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media	"($120; all old-vines malbec, cropped at 14 hectoliters per hectare) Saturated medium ruby. Deeper in pitch than the Altamira, with blackberry, cassis, black cherry and mint aromas complemented by strong smoky, meaty soil tones. Ripe and large-scaled but extremely closed today, not yet showing the inner-mouth perfume of the Altamira Strong acidity and big, broad tannins saturate the palate of this very firmly structured, ageworthy malbec." (02/11)
91 Pts Wine Enthusiast	"This single-vineyard Malbec proves once again that Achaval-Ferrer does not specialize in textbook wines. It's a terroir-driven hard-body with tight blueberry and cherry aromas and flavors. There's a lot of zest, drive and crispness to the palate, and the finish is tight, layered and long. Drinkable now through 2018. -W.E." (05/11)

Description:

"Pure raspberry, soft tannins, spice, dry finish, lovely grainy texture. Fantastic leathery length. This gets the best out of Malbec, for sure. Drink 2010 to 2020. (RH)" (09/10) 17.5 out of 20 points, Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages

WINE:
"With Finca Mirador our goal is to allow the vineyard to express its 'terroir'. Malbec is the flagship red variety from Argentina. It has found in Mendoza its true home. We work as hard as necessary during eleven months in the vineyard, to produce grapes that will need very little intervention during the winemaking process. The climate, the viticulturural program, the irrigation management: Everything is thought as a step towards the goal of true expression of the vineyard. Finca Mirador's personality shines through the wine, vintage after vintage, with a recognizable and repeated signature. Fermentation took place in a small tank. At dryness, the wine was pressed and racked into French oak barrels, 100% new, where it was then aged for 15 months." -Winery

VINEYARD:
"The 5 hectare Malbec Estate is located in the village of Medrano, at 700 m.a.s.l. and on the west bank of the irrigation canal. The soil is alluvial and the surface clay-like silt is one-meter thick. The vineyard is surrounded by olive trees, with some decorative rosemary plants. The planted vine density is 4,000 plants per hectare." -Winery
