Guarachi Family Wines “G” by Alex Guarachi 2019 750ml

Black fruit, cassis, dried herbs, cedar and dried spices on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Structured with a solid core of dark fruit on the center-palate and an intense finish. Drink from 2024. (James Suckling)

Delivers a big gush of plum sauce, blackberry preserves and melted black licorice, with a flicker of bramble tucked in to provide some energy. Lush and toasty through the finish, with the fruit holding the upper hand throughout. Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Drink now through 2032. 450 cases made. (James Molesworth)

Cedary, almost bourbon-like wood, blueberries, cherries and vanilla cream all appear on the nose of the 2019 G by Alex Guarachi, a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Malbec. Full-bodied, creamy and plush, it’s almost ridiculous how soft and pillowy the tannins are. Drink it over the next five to eight years.

This wine is a great value for the quality, a blend of 88% estate Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% estate Malbec from the producer’s high-elevation site. Aged two years in all French oak, it is smooth, supple and rich in mountain berry, with additions of toasted oak and tobacco. This wine is approachable in its youth. (Virginie Boone)

Including 10% Malbec, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon G By Alex Guarachi sports a dense ruby/plum color to go with a spicy, savory nose of ripe black cherries, plums, chocolate, and tobacco. With moderate acidity, full-bodied richness, and loads of texture, this hedonistic bomb of a wine should evolve for 8–10 years if properly stored. (Jeb Dunnuck)
