98 PTS WILFRED WONG. Takes a major leap forward, the incredible '09 Mendel Cabernet pushes this varietal's paradigm; extracted, yet sleek; persistent red and black currant flavors; long finish.

The Mendel Malbec is pure and powerful; shows tremendous finesse and length; flavors run from red to black fruits.
