"Las Compuertas es la base de este malbec, pero también hay fruta de Altamira y de Los Chacayes, ambas zonas en el Valle de Uco. Esta es una buena muestra del cambio que existe en Terrazas. Aquí el vino es sobre la fruta, sobre las flores. Los aromas son refrescantes, la madera está muy atrás, casi no se siente y la acidez domina la textura."

"Un malbec de distintos viñedos a lo largo de Mendoza, desde Luján hasta Uco, este es una fotografía de un estilo más bien maduro y centrado en la frutas negras de la variedad cuando crece en climas más cálidos y soleados. La boca es rica en sabores maduros y en especias dulces."

"El Reserva de Terrazas viene de viñedos muy viejos en Las Compuertas, de unos 80 años, junto al río Mendoza, y también de viñas más jóvenes en el Valle de Uco, estas últimas corresponden al 75% de la mezcla. El vino es un buen ejemplo de malbec mendocino en un año fresco como 2016, con las notas a cerezas, la acidez viva y el final levemente herbal."

"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart kräuterwürzig unterlegtes schwarzes Waldbeerkonfit, ein Hauch von reifen Pflaumen, schokoladiger Touch, etwas Pfeffer. Mittlere Komplexität, angenehme Kirschenfrucht, gut eingebaute Tannine, dezente Süße im Abgang, vielseitig einsetzbarer Speisenbegleiter."

"(2016) Very nice lifted aromas, certainly showing plenty of the fruit and herby/floral character, plenty of fat black fruit, that comes through to the palate with a depth of fruit sweetness and gloss, the palate a little bit of weight and juiciness, a touch harsh just in the finish, the tannins and acid a little grainy, but a wine that needs a little time perhaps."

"Dunkles Rubingranat, schwarzer Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Ein Hauch von Amarenakirschen, ein Hauch von Lakritze, feine Pralinenfüllung, zarter Nougat. Stoffig, intensive dunkle Beerenfrucht, Brombeeren, feine, gut tragende Tannine, angenehme Extraktsüße im Nachhall, bleibt gut haften, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter, verfügt über Entwicklungspotenzial."

"(2008) Lifted floral nose, with a sweet raspberry and cherry fruit, and just an infill of charry oak. The palate has a lovely kirsch like fruit sweetness. The tannins are fairly big and drying, with a plumskin bittersweetness and fine acidity. Lovely wine."

"Un resumen de viñedos en Mendoza, desde Luján de Cuyo hasta el Valle de Uco, este es un malbec amable, frutal. Simple y ligero para entender de qué va esta variedad. Mucha influencia tiene el cuarto del blend,que viene de Los Chacayes y que le ha dado un tono muy especiado y herbal. Pero además los taninos son reactivos, muy firmes y hablan de la zona, y hablan también de una nueva mirada hacia este reserva, que hoy es mucho más tenso."

"Plum, cherry and raspberry aromas are a touch wiry and piquant, but after airing, the nose softens and smooths out. High acidity makes for a bright mouthfeel, with bold plum and raspberry flavors to balance. Drink through 2023. Michael Schachner"

86 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec" from the vintage 2010 on 01.01.2014 with 86 of 100 points.
"While this is stout and dark up front, the nose comes with a note of stewed fruit. The thick, tannic palate is grabby and resiny in feel, while flavors of raw oak taste lactic, and the berry fruit component in the wine is loamy and feels big and blocky."
yr. 2010 Revista de Vinhos:
15 of 20 Points.
"Revista de Vinhos" has rated the wine "Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec" from the vintage 2010 on 01.04.2013 with 15 of 20 points.
"1067m de altitude. Notas doces, fruta preta muito compotada, um nada de alfarroba, flores, complexo e largo. Macio na boca, taninos redondos bem envolvidos, corpo médio, acidez correcta, termina austero."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec" from the vintage 2009 on 01.01.2012 with 87 of 100 points.
"Black fruit aromas feature a touch of licorice. Feels lively and alert, with edgy acids and juicy, forward flavors of plum and wild berry. Toasty, integrated and spicy on the finish, with pinches of green and black pepper."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec" from the vintage 2008 on 01.07.2011 with 85 of 100 points.
"Slightly bouncy, brambly and foxy, with bubblegum and red-fruit aromas. The palate is sweet, friendly and plump, with a pretty good mouthfeel and candied berry flavors in the lead. Young and sticky on the finish; sweet and lively as a whole."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2009 with 90 of 100 points.
"A little damp and earthy at first, but it rounds into a full, powerful Malbec with a lot of color, size and drive. Blackberry, chocolate and spice notes control the hefty palate, and coffee precedes a bitter dryness on the finish. An improvement over the past couple of vintages. Drink now through 2012."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:
86 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2008 with 86 of 100 points.
"Jammy aromas of raspberry and cherry show a slightly pickled, brambly edge, while the palate delivers tight, grabby cherry and berry flavors. There's a bit of cheesy tang to the finish, while sheering acidity and an overall light body make it food friendly."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
85 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Terrazas de los Andes Reserva Malbec" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2008 with 85 of 100 points.
"Starts out murky and sweaty, before showing cola, green herbs and leather. It's a rather jumpy, scattershot wine with plum and boysenberry flavors and a grapy, flush finish. The feeling here is that Terrazas wines were more consistent and elevated a few years ago."
