99 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Malbec Farrow Ranch was matured for 22 months in 90% new French oak. It has kaleidoscopic, singularly purple scents of boysenberry, soaring lilac and violet, sweet fennel and cast iron unfurling continuously as it spends time in the glass. The full-bodied palate is heavenly! It has an effortless balance of vibrant acidity and loads of clay-textured tannins. There's wave after wave of perfumed fruit. Finessed and expressive, it's a gorgeous version of Farrow Ranch Malbec that trades density and power for elegance and detail. 310 cases were made. Drink: 2030-2050. (Dec 2023)"
97 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Saturated opaque purple, the 2021 Malbec Farrow Ranch is all Malbec and spent 22 months in 90% new French oak. It has a highly expressive bouquet with plenty of floral perfume, dark ripe fruit, and loads of blueberry pie, boysenberries, and baking spices. Full-bodied but light on its feet, it retains fantastic acidity, with supple tannins, and it's long on the palate. It's an wine outstanding in this vintage and has some real aging potential over the coming 20 years. Drink: 2024-2044. (6/27/24)"
96 points James Suckling: "Tar, blackberry, crushed ceramic, white pepper and crushed stone. Medium to full body with a chewiness and tannin tension that makes this framed and powerful. Really impressive. Sets a standard for malbec in the US. 310 cases made. Drink or hold. (11/18/23)"
94 points Jonathan Cristaldi (Decanter): "Very high-toned violets and cinnamon-dusted mulberry fruits. Toffee and espresso bean. Full-bodied with fine-grained grippy tannins and ripe, juicy blueberry and blackberry fruit with a long espresso bean finish. Drinking Window: 2024-2038. (Apr 2024)"
