Estate functions as a gateway to Casarena's interest in the Luján de Cuyo area and is a juicy and fruity vision of Luján in a malbec, a smooth red with no rough edges that moves through the mouth with its creamy tannins. In a warm year and especially, with yields decreased by frost, the harvest has arrived early and that undoubtedly resulted in the freshness of the fruit that comes through here. A safe bet for a barbecue. [Enjoy through end of decade+.] Score - 90.
