The upper-level wines begin with the 2009 Temis Single Vineyard (100% Malbec) sourced from a parcel planted in 1939 and aged in 100% new French barriques for 18 months. Notions of pain grille mineral Asian spices lavender and black cherry lead to an elegant impeccably balanced wine with outstanding volume and length. This seamless offering will benefit from 1-2 years of additional bottle age and will provide prime drinking from 2013 to 2021. - Jay Miller

This opens with an aromatic blast of spice leather coconut cassis and blackberry. Plump and sturdy on the palate it has fine acidity smooth tannins and flavors of roasted spicy blackberry and chocolate. With baking spice and barrel-driven flavors on the finish this is a beautiful wine to drink from 2013-2018. - M.S.
